2021 ENVOY Johnson Sauvignon Blanc

Bouquet

Lifted floral notes, citrus and passionfruit. 

Palate

Distinctive flavours of grapefruit and citrus peel intermingle with layers of minerality. The mid-palate is rich and textured with a fresh, lively mouth-watering acidity

Winemaking

Hand harvested at peak flavour maturity from selected rows of the Bordeaux clone on 
our ‘E Block’ Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley. Whole bunch pressed, with gentle juice 
extraction, cold settled and fermented in new and older oak barrels using a range of 
yeasts including one parcel of natural yeast. 

Vintage

Harvest 2021 was one out of the box – a winemaker’s dream. Impeccable weather 
throughout the ripening period led to beautiful disease-free fruit and, combined with 
warm days and cool nights the resulting flavours and acidity are well balanced. Cooler 
weather during flowering and a couple of visits from “Jack Frost” led to smaller bunches 
and lighter crops.
