Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Wine Notes
Stone Paddock Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a youthful wine with fine acidity and length. Part of its appeal is the balance between ripe tropical fruit and delicate herbaceous notes.

Foodmatch
Passionfruit, pear and citrus fl avours mingle with subtle mineral aromas, creating an elegant and refreshing wine that works well as an aperitif or as a versatile accompaniment to dishes featuring seafood or oysters. Try pairing it with fullfl avoured salads, vegetarian dishes, poultry and Asian dishes.

Viticulture
Fruit for Stone Paddock Sauvignon Blanc is grown at our Paritua Vineyard estate, which is comprised of red and grey metal soils, allowing good drainage and ripening. French clones, two of which originated from Sancerre, and one from Bordeaux, add complexity and depth of fl avours. Lower cropping rates produce fruit with good balance between varietal herbaceous notes and ripe, tropical fruit fl avours.

Cellaring Potential
Drink now or cellar up to 2008.

Winemaking
Machine-harvested grapes were de-stemmed and crushed to press. 90% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks. The remaining 10% of the juice was barrel fermented in two-year-old French oak barriques on the lees for two months to enhance weight and complexity.

Stone Paddock Sauvignon Blanc 2006 Bottle NZ$20 ea. Case NZ$228 ea.
