Deep Down Marlborough Blanc 2023

This is a wine which focuses on the Marlborough region, rather than on any single variety, which in this region would almost always be Sauvignon Blanc. Sure, there is Savvy here, but also Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, both of which do well in the district, when they can find space. Wild fermented and from a single vineyard, this is very much a style designed for food.  Deep yellow, even a hint of bronze, this is very aromatic. If one had to compare it to a style, a well-worked Savvy would not be too far from the mark. There are notes of orange blossoms, figs and egg custard. Very well structured with good intensity and a lingering finish, this is for enjoying over the next five to six years. Something a little bit different and definitely worth a look.
