Church Road wines are textural and complex, marrying the ripe fruit flavours of Hawke's Bay grapes with the subtle nuances obtained from traditional winemaking techniques. These are fragrant wines, full of character.
Tasting Notes
AROMAS: This vineyard typically expresses notes of passionfruit, pink grapefruit and elderflower with some herbaceous notes bringing freshness to the aroma. More complex notes of underlying minerality with a touch of subtle creamy French oak helps to build aromatic and textural interest.
BODY: On the palate, the wine is medium weight, with fresh, zesty acidity and good textural length.
CELLARING: While drinking well now, this Sauvignon has seen some oak and can age gracefully for 5 years or more.
