Sauvignon Blanc is a variety of remarkable hidden depths, and Te Koko 2019 is serious, subtle and complex. For viticulturist John Flanagan, Te Koko is the ultimate test of focus and the search for perfection.
“After not making Te Koko for the last two vintages, it was important that we were able to not only make a 2019 Te Koko but make it a great example of this wine,” he says. “I think we’ve achieved that in spades, with a dense and powerful wine that honours the vision of the original winemaking team who dreamt of making a Sauvignon Blanc with a difference.”
"Te Koko 2019 is serious, subtle and complex. The nose is nuanced, with citrus, stone fruits and savoury notes of soft woodsmoke. Mellow oak and mineral characters are balanced by the vibrant acidity and freshness of citrus and conference of pear. A long and elegant finish draws together this dense and powerful wine."
