Mahi The Alias Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Reviews
NZ Wine Rater (Steve Bennett MW, Lynette Hudson): 96/100 (excellent). Wow, what a wine. Despite with nearly 4 years bottle age it's fragrant, perfumed and complex with hints of wild lavender, tarragon, lime, yellow plum and smoky, savoury oak. Still remarkably fresh and well-poised with luscious fruit, taut, mineral acidity and a fine salty finish. Bravo, a splendid example that shows just how well some Sauvignons can age.
Tasting Note
Big and ripe, the wine is full-bodied, round and delivers plenty of flavor and texture. Hints of smoke, spice and struck flint accent melon and fig notes, with a creamy mouthfeel and a long, pink-grapefruit finish.

Vineyard: Byrne vineyard, at the western end of the Wairau Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand. The fruit for this wine comes from a small parcel in the Byrne vineyard, located in the Conder's Bend area of Marlborough. The vines are planted on the gravels that would have once been a riverbed. The stony soils provide both drainage and heat retention which are essential for this cooler site.
Winemaking: The grapes were hand-picked, whole-cluster pressed and taken straight to French barriques without any chemical additions. It was fermented with indigenous yeast in the barrels, helping to add complexity and texture, without dominating the nose. The wine was left on yeast lees for fifteen months, which were stirred regularly. This meant that the yeast added both savoury notes and served to work as a natural fining agent. After time in barrique it was gently racked then bottled without fining.
