Sauvignon Blanc

"Sancerre style". VINOUS MAGAZINE....96 points....BEST NZ SAUVIGNON BLANC. The 2019 Sauvignon Blanc Abstract Three Rows is a pure and sophisticated wine from, true to its name, three rows of a dry farmed parcel. It is bright and tangy yet savory.

Bright citrus flavors from an elegant year, followed by saline acidity washing across the palate, leaving subtle tropical tones unfurling on the finish. ~Winery Notes 

94/100 Bob Campbell MW "Tiritiri is a new brand for Neudorf. Tiritiri is Te Reo meaning to cultivate or grow. Tirtiri sits under the Estate label, is made from grower grapes and is not necessarily made from organic grapes or grapes grown on the Waimea Plains. It's worth noting that the previous vintage of this wine was grown on the Waimea Plains and had the same recommended retail price.
