The Hunting Lodge Waikoukou Sauvignon Blanc 2021, Waimauku, Auckland

Fresh, youthful and fruit centric bouquet with a layer of minerality, barrel fermentation and ageing, fresh and dried herb, some peach and citrus then cape gooseberry along with a tropical fruits layer. Complex and new. Plenty of weight and intensity on the palate with fruits flavours that mirror the bouquet thn impacts from barrel use from weight and creaminess to vanilla, lees and spice. An excellent wine ready for drinking from late 2022 through 2026+.
