Leefield Station Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough

Farming runs in Brent Marris? family, drawing on the knowledge and experience of his father John Marris, a stock and station agent who switched to real estate and was a pioneer in the Marlborough Wine Industry ? helping Montana Wines establish their vineyards in 1973. Like the new owner of Leefield Station this Sauvignon Blanc is full of tenacity and vibrancy and was awarded Air New Zealand Elite Gold Medal for the first vintage. A deliciously ripe, perfumed nose of lime zest, passionfruit and musky pink grapefruit gives way to a palate saturated with flavours of exotic citrus, woody herbs and warm river stone, delivered within a taut, uber fresh acid framework that drives a sustained, juicy finish.
