Triplebank Sauvignon Blanc

Three steeply stepped, sun-baked terraces on the southern bank of the Awatere River inspired the name of a farm , Triplebank.



Now, this land produces pungent grapes that reflect the raw nature of Marlborough's ,forgotten valley, with vivid flavours captured in every bottle of Triplebank wine. Our winemaking philosophy is to capture and accentuate the essence of what is proving to be a distinctive winegrowing area.



Aroma & Palate

The wine is light straw in colour with green highlights. Aromas of gooseberry'stone fruits and red capsicum coupled with the ,tomato stalk, signature of Awatere Sauvignon Blanc are present. The palate shows ripe gooseberry supported by peach and a tantalizing minerality. This wine displays a fantastic equilibrium of concentrated fruit flavours and zesty acidity.

Cellaring and Food Matching

This wine can be matched with grilled oysters, barbecued prawns or salmon and poached white fish with fresh green salads containing parsley, pepper or lemon. Mediterranean and Turkish dishes with hummus, olives and feta will also match well. Though made to drink while young and vivacious, this wine may be cellared for up to three years to develop further complexity.

This wine reflects the commitment and passion of the Awatere vineyard team and the awesome potential of the Awatere Triplebank vineyard. Sauvignon Blanc is particularly suited to the Awatere with a wonderful, vibrant, aromatic lift noticeable on the nose.
