The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc 2025
Thierry Delaunay, the fifth-generation of the Delaunay family is now at the helm of Domaine Joël Delaunay. A specialist in the Loire, Thierry sources the fruit for The Holy Snail wines from across the valley, some of which he buys from long-standing grower friends and colleagues. These IGP Val de Loire wines offer excellent value. The Holy Snail Sauvignon Blanc is a blend created by Thierry Delaunay using prime parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from his network of grower friends across the Touraine region of the Loire Valley. Soils here are predominantly clay and silex. Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes were gently pressed. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at 16°C to retain the bright aromatics of the Sauvignon. Following fermentation, the wine was matured on its fine lees for a brief period to add texture to the palate, before being fined, filtered and bottled in early spring.
Vidal Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Vidal Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and expressive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, showcasing intense aromas of passionfruit and fresh herbs. The palate is lively and layered, with tropical fruit flavours and crisp, refreshing acidity, delivering a classical expression of this celebrated New Zealand wine region. Why You'll Love It This is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its finest—vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully expressive. Crafted from premium vineyards in Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys, this wine reflects the distinct terroir of the region. Attention to vine health, sustainable viticulture and careful winemaking ensures a wine of clarity, precision and intensity. The result is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with exceptional aromatic intensity and refreshing character. Vineyard & Production Grapes are sourced from a mix of alluvial soils over papa silt and gravel in Marlborough's Awatere and Wairau Valleys, with river stones enhancing drainage and concentration. These low-yielding sites, combined with meticulous vineyard management, produce grapes of exceptional quality and flavour. The 2024 harvest benefitted from low winter rainfall and cooler flowering conditions, which reduced yields and increased concentration. Marlborough's classic warm days and cool nights allowed the fruit to ripen fully while preserving vibrant acidity. Grapes were gently pressed and cool-fermented to retain their aromatic profile, with selected components aged briefly on lees to add mid-palate weight and texture. Tasting Notes This vibrant Sauvignon Blanc opens with bright aromas of passionfruit, citrus and fresh herbs. The palate is lively and layered, showing tropical fruit flavours including passionfruit and citrus, balanced by crisp acidity. The finish is long, refreshing and expressive, showcasing the classic character of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Perfect Pairings A versatile food wine, perfect with fish, shellfish, chicken, fresh salads, goat cheese, or Asian cuisi
