The Blind River
Winery is located in the Awatere Valley in Marlborough
region. The famous Awatere
River divides the valley
as it winds its way to the east coast. The closest major town is Blenheim which
sounds more like a pumpkin than a town.
What increases the
enjoyment level on Sav Blanc? For me it is mouth feel or texture as so many are
fermented quickly without lees contact or barrel fermentation. This wine sees
both and the mouth feel is beautiful. It is a little creamer as well but the
acidity and flavour are bright and zesty. It wasn’t what I expected as I was
thinking ‘just another typical blanc but it was much more than that. Think
lemon grass, gooseberries with a fruit or tropical nature with zest on the
back-palate pulling everything together.
