Overview:
Cable Bay Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a lively, complex expression of Awatere Valley terroir. Citrus, guava and gentle dried herb aromatics lead into a crisp, dry and full-bodied palate. Chalky minerality from the alluvial soils and ocean influence meets lees ageing, which lends depth, texture and weight. The result is a refreshing yet layered wine with a long, memorable finish and impressive versatility at the table.
Tasting Notes:
Bright aromas of citrus, guava and dried herbs lift from the glass. The palate is vibrant and energetic, with tropical fruit flavours of grapefruit, apple and passionfruit layered over a chalky mineral core. Fine texture from lees ageing brings weight and complexity, while fresh acidity ensures balance and persistence. An elegant and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc that pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, Asian cuisine, or goat’s cheese.
