Ant Moore 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a captivating and expressive wine from Marlborough, New Zealand, showcasing winemaker Ant Moore's creative and "free-spirited" approach to this classic varietal. Regarded as an innovator who sees and does things differently, Ant Moore crafts wines with a level of care and thoughtful consideration that truly sets them apart, offering complexity beyond the expected.
Sourced from distinctive vineyards across Marlborough's famed Awatere, Waihopai, and Wairau Valleys, this Sauvignon Blanc is born from ideal, sun-drenched, fruit-ripening conditions. The winemaking, however, thoughtfully deviates from the norm to build character and texture. The introduction of wild ferments and, most notably, a touch of skin fermentation during the winemaking process, imparts an intriguing textural dimension not often found in wines from this region.
The result is a wine that brilliantly balances vibrant, familiar Marlborough character with unique sophistication. It pours a pale straw yellow with delicate green hues, releasing alluring aromas of ripe grapefruit and fresh lemongrass, with underlying notes of nectarine and passionfruit. The palate delivers a mouth-watering intensity of juicy tropical notes and zesty lime, all enhanced by a subtle, dry phenolic texture from the skin contact. This is a wonderfully balanced and thought-provoking Sauvignon Blanc, perfect for those seeking a more complex and engaging expression of Marlborough.
