Details
A beautifully complex wine, the Cable Bay Cinders Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a true expression of the Awatere river region. With its lime zest, elderflower, and guava notes, this wine is sure to delight the senses. But it's not just the flavor that makes this wine special. The alluvial gravel and ocean-influenced terroir of the site give it a chalky mineral element that provides maximum dimension, focused acidity, and great overall balance.
What's more, the Cinders Vineyard is fully certified organic with BioGro, and all of Cable Bay's vineyards are accredited with SWNZ (Sustainable Wine Growing New Zealand). This means that not only is the wine delicious, but it's also made with sustainability in mind.
Cable Bay is a family-owned winery with a rich heritage that dates back to the early 1900s. The winery is located on Waiheke Island, just a short ferry ride from Auckland, New Zealand. The island's unique microclimate and terroir make it an ideal location for growing grapes, and Cable Bay takes full advantage of this.
The traditional winemaking process used by Cable Bay is a testament to their commitment to quality. The grapes are handpicked and sorted before being gently pressed. The juice is then fermented in stainless steel tanks, where it is left to age on its lees for several months. This process gives the wine its unique texture and flavor profile.
When it comes to tasting notes, the Cable Bay Cinders Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a true standout. The lime zest, elderflower, and guava notes are complemented by a slightly saline and crunchy texture. The wine also has a lovely fruit sweetness that brings everything together.
As for food pairings, this wine is incredibly versatile. It pairs well with seafood, especially oysters and grilled fish. It also goes well with salads, light pasta dishes, and goat cheese.
If you're a wine enthusiast with a preference for family-owned wineries, the Cable Bay Cinders Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a must-try. Here are some highlights of this exceptional wine:
- Expressive nose with lime zest, elderflower, and guava notes
- Chalky mineral element from the alluvial gravel and ocean-influenced terroir
- Fully certified organic with BioGro and accredited with
