The Sauvignon Blanc from the concrete egg

The Convergence Sauvignon Blanc is a skilful marriage of different characteristics, obtained from four different vineyards in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys. The 2021 harvests were a real challenge. Early frosts in spring followed by a cold, wet flowering period led to failures. The summer, on the other hand, was incredibly dry and this led to a very early harvest. The resulting grape quality was excellent. The grapes were harvested early in the morning and first lightly pressed. The cold fermentation was then carried out mainly in stainless steel tanks. In this way, the purity of the fruit and the pronounced varietal character could be maximized. A small portion of the juice was fermented in concrete egg tanks and clay amphorae to give the palate a grainy texture. Subsequently, this New Zealand wine from Marlborough was left on the fine yeast for three months, which further increased complexity and creaminess.
