Convergence Sauvignon Blanc 2024

$22.00

The name Convergence signifies the coming together of flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards, and 2024 Marks, the 21st vintage.

The nose immediately captivates with a fragrant burst of citrus intertwined with bay leaf and a delicate hint of sea spray. This Sauvignon Blanc has a bright luminosity with a slight green-olive hue and flavours of guava, gooseberry, and preserved lemon peel, underpinned with delicate floral and herbaceous notes. The palate is powerful, concentrated, and energetic with a lingering, juicy, mouth-watering acidity, good balance, length, and purity of fruit

Cameron Douglas, MS | 95 Stars | Outstanding 

An outstanding bouquet of fresh citrus and tree fruits, apples and pear, then honeysuckle, tropical fruits and a touch of fresh herb. Crisp, dry, complex and delicious, a salivating, fresh, and engaging wine on the palate, flavours mirror the bouquet with a backbone of acidity, some wet stone mineral and complex texture. Well made with best drinking from December 2024 through 2027

Sam Kim, Wine Orbit | 95 Points | 5 Stars

Pristine and gorgeously aromatic, the wine shows green rock melon, lemon peel, green tea and jasmine characters on the nose. The palate displays fine focus and excellent concentration, delivering terrific fruit power together with saline texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2030

An excellent vintage flaunting fresh aromatics with depth, along a stony, minerally texture. Pure, tension and detailed.

Winemaking

Lightly pressed, the juice was fermented cool, predominately in stainless steel to maximise fruit purity and distinctive varietal character. A small portion was fermented in concrete egg tank and clay amphora to add a grainy texture to the palate. The wine was then aged on light yeast lees for three months to gain complexity and increase mouthfeel.
