Te Merio Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Te Merio Sauvignon Blanc, South Island, New Zealand, 2025

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, sustainable farming, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

A bright and subtly lemony wine with notes of grapefruit, pineapple, and an underlying classic tropicality. The palate is pure and well structured, with a tasty, almost salty finish.

Winemaking: Sourced from specific plots with varied soils and climates. Picking decisions are made with a view to achieving a fresher, more lifted style than typical Sauvignon Blanc. Fruit is gently pressed and cool fermented in stainless-steel tanks with selected yeast strains to enhance the unique aromatics and flavours of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The finished wine is cold settled before bottling.

Boutinot's New Zealand wines are sourced from vineyards in each sub-regions of Marlborough (South Island) - the Awatere, Waihopai and Wairau Valleys, as well as the breezier, more southerly region of Waipara (Canterbury- South Island). These valleys have their own micro-climates and terroir which give a unique personality to the vineyards, grapes and finished wines.

Samantha Bailey brings her blending expertise and experienced palate to the fore in expressing the loveliest Boutinot wines from The Land of the Long White Cloud.

Food Match: With more texture than aromatics alone, this is a food-friendly Sauvignon Blanc. Its bright and crisp flavours are a perfect match with delicate, freshly caught seafood to rich and meaty, barbecued king prawns
