Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 12.5%)

Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc is a Marlborough, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, bottled in a 750ml bottle at 12.5% ABV. The grapes are harvested at night, then pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel tanks. Extended sur lie fermentation gives the wine a richer mouthfeel and subtle creamy undertones while retaining bright acidity and herbaceous character. The nose opens with key lime zest and gooseberry, followed by white nectarine and passionfruit, with fresh-cut grass and a hint of straw. On the palate, ripe grapefruit and citrus peel give way to stone fruit and passion fruit, with pear and apple notes carried by lees contact. The finish is medium, clean and refreshing, with lingering lime and gooseberry, faint minerality and a grassy echo.
