Tasting Notes
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes are sourced primarily from three vineyard sites. The Rapaura vineyard provides richly flavoured Sauvignon Blanc grapes that reveal a broad expression of tropical, passionfruit and guava characteristics. From the StrawLodge vineyard on the West Coast road where the fruit flavours are softer producing luscious lemon and lime acidity. And finally the Anderlane vineyard, that is located between the other two sites and brings the quintessential gooseberry and fine acidity of this area.
Hunky Dory Sauvignon Blanc is succulent, offering tropical fruit notes packed with fresh gooseberry and lime flavours. This wine has a full flavoured lingering finish and is designed to meet expectations of a true Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
The Hunky Dory team is led by Mike and Claire Allan, the founding winemakers of Huia Vineyards. Claire and Mike's passion for winemaking, and the lifestyle that goes with it, started when they were young and they have pursued it ever since. They wanted to make a range of wines that expressed the relaxation and enjoyment that you get with food and wine - quality wine with good food, what's better! Mike's love of fishing and being on the water - peace and quiet, the gently shifting horizon and the occasional fish on the hook; it's all good. Claire is a real foodie, discovering new dishes and recipes and then cooking huge meals for the whole family to enjoy. - Winery Note
