Cloudy Bay Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc 2020
A tantalising infusion of jasmine flowers and sweet garden herbs with lemon and mandarin citrus steeped in ginger spice. The palate is creamy and full yet finishes with an intuitively balanced lemon citrus twist. Subtle smoky oak, and fermentation with indigenous yeast, bring an appealing savourine ss to this wine. The sauvignon blanc grapes for this wine were sourced from four Cloudy Bay estate vineyards and two grower vineyards, spread across the Brancott Valley, Rapaura and Renwick sub-regions. The soils are predominantly free draining gravels equiring irrigation. A combination of Vertical Shoot Positioned (VSP) and Scott-Henry canopy training systemswere employedwith vines planted at a density of 1,850 vines per hectare. In 2006 the vineyards yielded an average of 8.4 Tonnes/hectare.
Puligny-Montrachet, Domaine Pernot-Belicard 2016
Pernot-Belicard's 2016 Puligny is classic, understated elegance - cool citrus and white peach wrapped in a fine veil of florals, with a quiet mineral line that tightens and lengthens as it opens. On the palate it’s poised and gently textural, offering just enough mid-weight creaminess before tapering into a saline, stone-etched finish. 2016 was challenging but rewarding: frost cut yields dramatically, yet what remained was wonderfully concentrated, pure and finely balanced. Pernot-Belicard turned adversity into precision, producing wines with real focus and drive. Pernot-Belicard is one of Puligny’s rising stars, run by Paul Pernot’s grandson, Philippe. Since taking over in the early 2010s, he’s tightened viticulture, refined élevage and pushed quality to impressive heights.
