Half Bottles Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough - 2007 - Tindall Vineyard
Ref: A912507
Textbook Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with strong red capsicum character, fresh 'zingy' acidity and crispness.

Tindall Vineyards are situated in Hammerichs Road, Rapaura, in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand wine region. The vineyards are owned by Terry & Lynley Sowman and managed by sons Clyde and Nigel Sowman. The name Tindall Vineyard honours grandfather Henry Tindall.

The estate was purchased in 1993 and was originally an extensive cherry orchard and cropping land. Nowadays 2 hectares remain in intensively grown cherries for the premium fresh market.

The first vines were selectively planted in 1995 on alluvial deposits from the Wairau River.
The vineyard comprises 12 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc, 1 hectare Chardonnay, and 4 hectares of Pinot Noir. The Pinot Noir site was selected for its propensity of yellow clay in ratio to the alluvial deposits. The clonal mix comprises of 667, 777, 5 and 115 which achieves our desire to craft elegant, red cherry/gamey pinot noir.

The focus is on producing single vineyard vibrant, pungent wines, characteristic of the Rapaura, Marlborough area, through intensive viticulture practices.

Crafting these wines into wonderful expressions is the responsibility of Dave Knappstein (senior winemaker at Forrest Estate).

The Sauvignon fruit was harvested at cool morning temperatures, immediately destemmed, crushed and pressed. The cold settled juice was racked, with settlings fined and filtered, then added back to fermentation. Fermentation was undertaken at 12-14 degrees for 28 days to retain the vibrant fruit. Traditional finings were added prior to bottling

Lifted herbaceous notes with an underlying richness of fresh tropical fruits. Fleshy ripe style with smooth citrus notes, excellent depth and a crisp, slightly off-dry finish.
