Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (12 Bottles) Marlborough, New Zealand

The Deep Down Sauvignon Blanc, crafted by Clive Dougall in Marlborough, New Zealand, is a standout example of organic, minimal-intervention winemaking. This single-vineyard wine undergoes wild fermentation with partial malolactic conversion, imparting a creamy texture and subtle complexity. Aromas of elderflower and citrus blossom lead to flavors of ripe tropical fruits, stone fruits, and a hint of honey. A touch of oak adds nutty nuances, while the finish is clean and balanced. With an alcohol content of 12.4%, this wine is a refined expression of Marlborough’s terroir. James Suckling awarded it 93 points, ranking it #67 in his Top 100 Wines of New Zealand 2024.
