Split Rock Sauvignon Blanc 2008
Named after the striking Split Apple Rock in the nearby Able Tasman national park, Split Rock is a family-made classic from Herman Seifried, his wife Agnes and their three children.
Herman first planted vines at their estate in 1973, building the South Island's very first winery with the help of his local church. Limited quantities lavished by care and attention make this aromatic Sauvignon a great introduction to beautiful Nelson - New Zealand's white wine hotspot of the moment.
It's amazingly ripe and aromatic thanks to the 2,400 hours of sunshine the region enjoys. Power-packed aromas of freshly shelled peas, cut grass and nettles, this Sauvignon is awash with mouthwatering gooseberry, lime and capsicum flavours.
Superb aperitif, even better with seafood.
Vendor: Laithwaites
