Settlement Heritage Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2020 (91 VM)
“The 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Heritage Vineyard is a more restrained and supple style from Marlborough. This is not a tropical fruit party; we’re in the grapefruit, elderflower and citrus spectrum, with 15% wild ferment bringing an attractive note of white flowers. Firm acidity makes for a tangy, clean and bright finish. There’s light, fine-grained texture on the medium-length finish, which conveys a sense of calm. I look forward to seeing more from Steve and Kirsty at Settlement.” – Rebecca Gibb MW

By choosing exceptional vineyard sites little is required in the winery. The purity of fruit and flavor is nurtured in the vineyard, and the delicate variations of each season are embraced in such a way that little intervention required.
