Auntsfield

Auntsfield SV Chardonnay 2015 Marlborough
Quite a bold bouquet of spicy wood scents followed by roasted yellow stone fruits; aromas of baking spices, quince and a touch of salty sea air make for a youthful yet complex building package. On the palate – as the nose suggests – youthful and intense with flavours of wood, wood spices, ripe stone fruit then citrus peel, some cashew, quince and saline moments adding depth and character. Plenty of acidity, nearly full-bodied and dry on the finish. A wine that will age well. Drink now and through 2025.
91 Points

Auntsfield SV Sauvignon Blanc 2017 Marlborough
Bold, expressive and pungent bouquet of SB with aromas and flavours of grapefruit, Meyer lemon, red apple, pineapple, sweet grass and fresh herbs. Youthful fresh and vibrant acidity with a touch of fruit spice; very long finish, great balance and palate appeal. Drink now and through 2021.
90 Points
