Cable Bay Sauvignon Blanc
This is a beautifully complex wine, conveying all the characteristics of the Awatere river region. Lime zest, elderflower and notes of guava come together to form an expressive nose. The alluvial gravel, ocean influenced terroir of the site gives a chalky mineral element to the wine, providing maximum dimension, focused acidity and great overall balance. Lees ageing contributes further complexity and weight to the palate. It’s textural, slightly saline and crunchy, zesty lime Sorbet finishes on the palate.
Cable Bay Pinot Noir
Deep and complex savoury aromas of cherry wood, gun-smoke, rose petal, campari and dried herbs integrate with underlying earthy tones. The site where this Pinot was grown, is expressed wonderfully, especially on the palate; a delicate minerally texture has ensued from the river-stone built soils, and a distinct salinity reflects close proximity to the ocean. The palate is vibrant and poised with wonderful balance and a distinguished tannin structure. A gem from a fantastic vintage for the Awatere Valley.
