"Aromas of passionfruit, lime zest and cut grass. The palate is light-bodied with a creamy texture and bright acidity, giving notes of lychees, mandarins and flint. Fresh and vibrate." James Suckling

VINTAGE 2025 - TASTING NOTES
TIKI SINGLE VINEYARD SAUVIGNON BLANC

COLOUR:
A delicate, pale green/gold.

NOSE AND PALATE:
A classic Sauvignon Blanc with citrus, passionfruit and blackcurrant fruits that sit alongside a smooth, creamy textured palate with a long, vibrant finish.

REGION:
100% Waipara, North Canterbury

VINTAGE CONDITIONS: 2025 was a favourable vintage for North Canterbury that started off with an early bud burst and flowering. The weather was above average in terms of sunshine right through to Christmas suggesting a very early vintage was looming. Fruit set was largely in-line with target yields that set the vineyard up nicely for harvest. From the beginning of January temperatures cooled and the region had prolonged cloud cover and some rain which brought the season back into balance and the harvest start dates were delayed slightly. Despite some heavy rain events during March the harvest started in mid-March and finishing around the 20th April. The early summer followed by the cooler summer enabled the fruit to fully ripen and be picked with optimum flavour.
