From Seresin's Raupo Creek vineyard in the Omaka Valley, this certified organic, biodynamically grown Sauvignon Blanc layers ripe tropical fruit, peach and citrus with flinty savouriness, gentle toast and a crisp, fully dry finish. Barrel fermentation and long lees ageing bring weight and texture without losing the variety's mouthwatering drive. It is a persuasive choice for drinkers who prefer their Sauvignon Blanc complex rather than shouty. Pour it with roast salmon, grilled prawns or creamy chicken dishes, and give it a generously sized glass.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeresin sourced the fruit from a single parcel in the clay-rich Raupo Creek Vineyard, a north-west facing site in the Omaka Valley. The grapes were hand harvested and whole-bunch pressed, with the free-run juice settled before transfer to French oak barrels and puncheons. Each component fermented naturally on lees and completed malolactic fermentation, then remained in oak for 14 months before blending and filtration. New oak accounted for 23% of the blend. The finished wine is dry at 0 g\/L residual sugar and 12.5% alcohol, with tropical fruit, flinty savoury notes and a full, structured palate. The winery suggests drinking now or cellaring to 2033.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCameron Douglas MS, 94 Points - Excellent (2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e“Fragrant and enticing bouquet that ticks the boxes of ripeness and intensity, complexity and power, core fruits and drying herbs of the variety.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, 91 Points (2022)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003e“The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc Mārama is a full-bodied, mouthwatering, barrel-fermented expression, delectably textured with richness of substance making it good enough to eat.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mineral","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53182023762287,"sku":"100489","price":251.94,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/2252\/6319\/files\/SeresinMaramaSauvignonBlanc2022.jpg?v=1785893828","url":"https:\/\/stolencellar.co.nz\/products\/seresin-marama-sauvignon-blanc","provider":"Stolen Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
