Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand
The grapes for this wine are sourced from multiple vineyard sites throughout Marlborough, with a portion from the Awatere Valley and the balance from the Wairau Valley. This blend of fruit from different sub-regions contributes to the wine’s complexity and depth. The grapes are crushed and destemmed prior to pressing, and fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to preserve the lifted aromatics and fresh fruit flavors.
