Dashwood, Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

2019 Sauvignon Blanc Scents of mango, lime and passionfruit introduce our 2019 Sauvignon Blanc. A weighty, tropical palate is in perfect harmony with the crisp, acidic finish. The Dashwood brand was developed by Vavasour Wines in 1989. Given the commitment to using the Vavasour brand for wines true to the Awatere Valley, it provided flexibility within the company’s portfolio to have the Dashwood range as a blend of fruit from Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys. Dashwood wines bring the luscious, clean fruit characters of the Wairau Valley into harmony with the flinty, or mineral, characters of the Awatere (resulting from the comparatively cooler but drier temperatures and slightly less fertile soils).
