Mahi produces multiple single vineyard wines as well as a regional Marlborough range. They source grapes from over eight different vineyard sites across the region having sought out the right sites that are planted with the right varieties, a number of which are farmed biodynamically and are certified organic.
The 2023 Sauvignon comes from five different vineyards, all of them giving particular attributes to the final wine. The hand-picked fruit was whole cluster pressed so that the time on skins was minimised.
A portion of this juice, 19% this year, was barrel fermented in seasoned French barriques to give greater weight, though ensuring that the wood is not evident on the nose. The balance of the wine was fermented cool to retain the fruit characters from the vineyards.
The native ferment portion, 35%, also adds levels of flavour and texture, giving a savoury note that balances some sweeter fruit. The final blend was made solely from free-run juice, giving a more elegant and subtle wine.
This wine shows an array of fruit characters, ranging from citrus through to tropical notes.
This is complemented by some secondary characters from the natural yeast ferments and some barrel aging. The palate has an elegant structure with a creamy, textural mid-palate and a long finish.
