2024 Pear Tree Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

Grapes: 100% Sauvignon Blanc Alcohol: 12.6% pH: 3.25 TA: 7.3 g/L R/S: 2.79 g/L Vegan: Yes Vegetarian: Yes Coeliac: Yes Dairy: None Allergens: Sulphites Sustainable Vineyard: Yes Nose: delicate tropical and sweet floral notes, together with hints of fresh cut grass. Palate: contrasting the gentle nose is a fresh fruit density and a citric mouth feel. Lime hints follow with a crisp finish. A nice texture evolving the complexity in the classic Ant More genre. Vinification: patchy flowering in spring resulted in loose grape bunches and lower bunch numbers. Combine this with relentlessly fine weather, ultra dry conditions, and a strong diurnal range in March, you couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Yield was down but the fruit was beautifully rich and ripe, and flavours across the fruit spectrum. Wine Makers Notes: some fruit parcels were fermented in old French barriques, with others in stainless steel. After fermentation components were racked and the individual parcels held separate on light lees to retain freshness. The oak component was kept on fermentation lees to further fill-out the palate and promote depth of character. Winemaking Philosophy: all our growers are certified sustainable, with viticulturists bent on an organic and natural approach where possible. Dovetailing that nicely are our winemakers’ low intervention approach to their crafting of the grapes.
