Description
The belief that the vineyard is the key to a great wine is at the core of Walnut Block. Labor intensive, organic vineyard methods produce consistent, exceptional fruit quality; the use of traditional winemaking techniques and attention to preserving delicate flavors & aromas. Among the vines stands the region’s oldest walnut tree, and to pay homage, the Collectables label depicts an adaptation of the 1898 Kiwi New Zealand stamp. Both the planting of the tree and the release of the stamp occurred over 100 years ago and celebrate the unique Kiwi history and roots of Walnut Block. A zesty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc bursting with tropical notes and fresh-cut lime. The palate is crisp and vibrant, layered with juicy passionfruit, ripe gooseberry, and a hint of green herbs. A lively acidity balances the lush fruit, leading to a clean, refreshing finish that lingers with citrus zest and a whisper of minerality.
