Cupcake Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc White Wine New Zealand, 750 ml Bottle, 13% ABV

Cupcake Vineyards' Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, crisp wine that comes from vineyards in the South Island of New Zealand, where the cool growing season allows our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. We work with growers in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys to explore the different soil profiles of the region for maximum complexity. The grapes are then harvested at night and promptly pressed to undergo cool fermentation in 100% stainless steel tanks. An extended fermentation sur lie adds richness, complementing the fruit’s natural zest and acidity. This bright wine has fresh flavors of Meyer lemon, white nectarine and Key lime that integrate with subtle hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating into a long, balanced finish. Pairs well with oysters on the half shell, creamy lobster risotto or a picnic in the park. Cupcake Vineyards' winemaker Jessica Tomei has spent more than 15 years chasing vines through some of the world’s finest wine growing regions. Her hands-on approach starts in the vineyard, working alongside growers to ensure our grapes reach the perfect ripeness. Letting each vineyard shine through to create rich, creamy and delectable wines, Jessica brings out the truest grape expression for each Cupcake varietal.
