A classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with aggressive flavors of grapefruit and gooseberry followed by a crisp and lingering finish.
Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Production: 7,200 cases
Chasing Venus wines are produced from grapes grown on small family farms in the acclaimed Marlborough appellation. Griggs Vineyard is situated in an old riverbed against the eastern hills of the appellation. The gravelly, well-drained soils promote pronounced grapefruit flavors. The McClean vineyard is located in the heart of the Marlborough appellation where the heavy clay soils contribute the herbal aromas found in Chasing Venus. Grove Town grapes, grown at the very southern edge of the Marlborough appellation, produce a wonderful balance of herbal, citrus and stony mineral notes. We use only a small amount of the Flower Day vineyard for its famously aggressive cat pee aroma that is so characteristic of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
