2019-C Boulder Bank Sauvignon Blanc, Fitzroy Vineyards, Marlborough, New Zealand (750ml)   

Pale straw in color with aromas of green apple and gooseberry and a hint of jalapeño and fresh green pepper. The focused, mineral palate shows vibrant key lime, cantaloupe and kiwifruit with great balance and a long, crisp finish.

In 1998 Nick and Yolyn Goldschmidt, established their own line of wines with the release of Goldschmidt Vineyards. The goal of the company was to produce two distinct brands of fine wines with the idea of focusing on site specific winemaking from great vineyards from around the world. Goldschmidt Vineyards’ Boulder Bank wines are made exclusively from grapes grown on sustainably farmed vineyard sites throughout New Zealand. Near the town of Blenheim lie the Rapaura and Brancott sub-regions, each produces distinctive wines; the Rapaura consists of riverbed and sandy loam soils while the hilly area of the Brancott has glacial soils which offer better water-holding capacity. The Fitzroy Vineyard is located where the two come together; gentle afternoon breezes and cool night temperatures permit slow and even ripening throughout the vineyard and modest yields are obtained by cane-pruning; Nick visits Marlborough several times per year to ensure his meticulous viticultural regimen is followed.
