Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc 2020 is a distinctive Marlborough white wine from New Zealand, made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc and sourced from the Murrays Vineyard. Rather than following an intensely aromatic style, this wine offers a more textured and nuanced expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, combining citrus and tropical fruit character with floral and mineral notes.
The 2020 vintage was naturally fermented, with 65% of the wine fermented in stainless steel and 35% in old French puncheons before four months of élevage. This approach contributes to the wine's texture and depth while retaining the freshness associated with Sauvignon Blanc. The producer's technical information also confirms that certified organic Sauvignon Blanc grapes were used.
On the palate, expect a combination of citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruit characteristics with floral and mineral nuances. The wine has a fresh acidity and a long, textured finish, making it an interesting choice for drinkers looking for a more refined and less overtly aromatic style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc 2020 works particularly well with seafood, shellfish, goat's cheese, salads and light vegetarian dishes. Serve chilled to highlight its freshness, texture and aromatic character.
