Astrolabe Taihoa Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Paddy and Anna Trolove grew the Taihoa Sauvignon Blanc on low-cropping vines in the coastal hills of Kekerengu under the watchful eye of viticulturist Stephen Dempster. Grapes were hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed and the wine was barrel-fermented using wild yeast, retained solids, and lees-stirring. The wine was then aged in French-oak barrels. Astrolabe Taihoa Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is lemon gold in colour and displays aromas of fresh-cut passionfruit, lime curd, currant leaf and citrus zest. The palate offers powerful passionfruit, guava and limoncello flavours, and a chalky, mineral texture. This wine will continue to develop rewarding flavour and bottle complexity with ageing.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
