Ranga Ranga, Sauvignon Blanc (2015)Type Wine - Still - WhiteRegion Marlborough, New ZealandGrape Sauvignon BlancSize 750 mL × 12SKU Ranga Sauvignon Blanc 15Distributor Lanterna Distributors

Our Estate Grown wine is an “old school” Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with clean, bright, gooseberry and lime aromatics.Mediterranean dried herbs and a weighty richness carry lemon grass and the herbaceous tang of cut lawn. In the mouth acrisp, dry attack is balanced by rich, ripe limes, sweet bell pepper, lemon grass and a touch of Awatere minerality. The longmouth-watering finish is born out of beautifully ripe fruit.

TASTING NOTESEstate grown and “Old School”. The crisp acidity carries a solid core of lemon grass, lime zest, the tang of cut lawn plus ahint of dried herbs and a touch of Awatere minerality. And it packs a fresh, zingy punch on the finish that makes it stand outfrom the crowd. Matches well to spicy food - Thai, Japanese, Indian, but works equally well with seafood, particularly oysters,as well as fat cheeses.

WINEMAKINGPicked for freshness and fermented in stainless steel at very cool temperatures, the balance of ranga is exactly right - eachmouthful is full of those “ripe green” flavours at the center of what Marlborough has to offer.

WINEMAKER’S NOTESFrom the time the fruit for Ranga entered the winery things looked good for the production of a wine that is representative ofthis great vintage. Staying true to his- tory, the wine is fresh, punchy with the amazingly long and balanced finish that is a“marque” of our 2015 vintage wines. A little more complex than previous years, it remains a really drinkable wine, with orwithout food.

THE VINEYARDSLower yields and warm, dry weather led to an early harvest and the very best quality. Cool, wet weather at floweringnaturally reduced crops, so we didn’t need to manage yields. From mid-December we had a warm and very dry summer.Rainfall from 1st January was just 57% of the 10 year average at Muritai. The lower yields were partly balanced by higherjuice levels. As usual, the fruit for ranga was the first picked and the fruit was clean, ripe and good to go – Situation normal.

The fruit for our 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon was selected from three of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles. It was handpickedand sorted in the early morning to ensure quality and uniformity of ripeness. Afterwards, the fruit was destemmed andgently crushed into temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. Pump-overs took place regularly to enhance color and helpextract tannins from the skin. After pressing, the wine was racked into barrels to complete malolactic fermentation. Whilethe majority of wine was aged in French oak, we also used some American and Hungarian oak barrels for added nuances andcomplexity. After 8 months of aging and extensive blending trials, some Petit Verdot was added to enhance the wine’sstructure and Tannat to add fleshiness. The final blend was then aged for an additional 12 months in barrels to fully integratebefore bottling.
