Description
What kind of wine it is
Rimapere Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a still white wine that captures the essence of New Zealand. Characterised by a pale straw yellow colour with bright green highlights, it reveals intense notes of lime and grapefruit on the nose, accompanied by fragrant white flowers. On the palate, it displays a balanced structure, enriched by a delicate complexity from barrel ageing and a subtle creamy nuance. The sip stands out for its long and elegant finish. It pairs perfectly with fresh fish and shellfish, white meats and soft cheeses, with a recommended serving temperature between 10 and 12°C.
Where it comes from
This Sauvignon Blanc originates in the heart of Marlborough, a New Zealand region with ideal soil and climate conditions. The estate's vineyards are managed using the Guyot training system, a choice that optimises sun exposure and grape ventilation, ensuring perfect ripening. Thanks to these careful agricultural practices, the wine is aromatically clear, faithfully expressing the New Zealand terroir and offering extraordinary varietal freshness.
How it is produced
The winemaking process begins with a gentle pneumatic pressing of whole bunches to extract the finest part of the must, followed by cold settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks and barrels, balancing the intensity of the aromas with a well-structured evolution. The subsequent ageing on the lees gives the wine a pleasant roundness and depth. The result is a clean sip, characterised by great finesse and persistence.
