Tasting Notes
Fresh and attractively fragrant, the bouquet shows nectarine, mango, green rock melon and lime zest characters, leading to a flavoursome palate that is bright and juicy. The wine delivers youthful fruit intensity and lively mouthfeel, leading to a lengthy crisp finish. Beautifully fragrant on the nose showing citrus and passionfruit characters. The Snapper Rock Sauvignon Blanc is classically expressed and an immediately attractive pour.
"Fresh and gorgeously aromatic with rockmelon, feijoa, kiwifruit and lemon zest aromas, it's powerfully expressed on the palate delivering juicy fruit intensity backed by vibrant acidity. Upfront and delectably appealing, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2024."

The Producer
Snapper Rock
James Leary and two local Marlborough friends planted out 6.5 ha on the Ward Valley Estate Vineyard in 2008 in the southern most growing region of Marlborough which is Ward in the Southern Awatere Valley. The site was selected for its deep clay soil structures and elevated hill side location allowing for prefect growing conditions for Pinot Noir and grassy lemony styles of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The first commercial vintage of Snapper Rock was 2011 and from that point they have grown the brand to produce only 4,000 cases of Sauvignon Blanc and 1,000 cases of Pinot Noir making Snapper Rock a perfect example of cooler climate single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir.
