Product.Nr. 2268
A soft, rounded Sauvignon Blanc with lush fruit. Pencarrow is the second-tier label of Palliser Estate, but this is a satisfying wine in its own right. More openly accessible, and if anything more up-front in flavour.
Pencarrow Sauvignon Blanc 2024
Exquisitely expressive nose showing passionfruit, orange blossom, apple, nettle and pink grapefruit with a hint of musk. Crisp, dry and bracingly refreshing, the palate is generous and layered with a long mouthwatering finish. A classic Kiwi, cool-climate Sauvignon, showcasing the Martinborough style.

Review for Pencarrow Sauvignon Blanc 2024:
camdouglasms.com
Aromatic, ripe and pure fruited with a core of apple and tropical fruits, grapefruit and white spice then a touch of minerality with a wet stone quality. Crisp and dry on the palate with spice then white fleshed fruits leading the texture and core flavours. Refreshing with a whisper of salinity to the acid line, balanced and well made in a ready to drink expression.
Varial: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Food matching: Best enjoyed in the flush of youth, this is great as an aperitif or pesto, chimichurri, goats cheese, pan-fried fish, green-lipped mussels or oysters. The coriander, Thai basil and mint notes found in Vietnamese cuisine are also an excellent match.
Vineyards: Martinborough, New Zealand. 91% of the fruit from the Woolshed vineyard the balance from Pencarrow vineyard.
Winemaking: The fruit is harvested and gently crushed to tank, cold settled over 2 days and racked to tank and fermented leaving 5g/litre of residual sugar giving added weight and texture to the wine. The wine then spends a further 3 months on lees before bottling.
Label design: The label pays tribute to the famous Pencarrow Lighthouse on the Palliser coast. It also pays homage to Mary Jane Bennett, whose lighthouse keeper husband died in 1855, leaving her to raise six children alone and run the lighthouse herself. This was a first for a woman in New Zealand in those pioneering days. She held the position for 10 years.
