St. Helena Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Wine information: Sitting just north of the City of Christchurch in the rich tapestry of New Zealand's Canterbury Plains is St Helena Wine Estate. Founded in 1978 by the Mundy family, the vineyard takes maximum advantage of the regions long, warm summers and dry autumns. An ideal climate for producing some of the best premium grapes the Southern Hemisphere has to offer. The result is a stunning selection of wines produced from the winery's 20 hectare estate. In fact, St Helena is acknowledged as the pioneer in establishing premium Pinot Noir for New Zealand. Owners Robin and Bernice Mundy and award winning winemaker Alan McCorkindale are passionate in their dedication to producing exceptional fruit and wines from the vineyard and the continuing development of Canterbury as one of New Zealand's finest wine producing regions. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc grapes from St Helena's Marlborough vineyards are fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures to product classic, intensely aromatic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe tropical fruit characters with underlying hints of asparagus are displayed in this crisp, dry wine. A classically structured Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with excellent palate weight and a persistent finish. An ideal match with roast poultry, seafood or as an aperitif.
