Sourced from two of the vineyard's historically best-performing blocks, just 200 metres from the sea, this is a wine that carries the unmistakable imprint of its coastal terroir in every sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sauvignon-blanc-wines\" title=\"Sauvignon Blanc Wines\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc\u003c\/a\u003e at Reserve level, and it shows. The Seaside block's bony, sand and shingle soils produce fruit of remarkable precision, with a briny, saline character that is genuinely distinctive and utterly compelling. Blended with a smaller parcel from richer alluvial soils closer to the Wairau River, the result is a wine of real complexity and balance, generous yet restrained, exotic yet elegant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVineyard and Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo of the best-performing blocks at the Wairau Bar Home Vineyard were selected for this Reserve bottling, with additional yield and canopy management applied in the growing season. Seaside Block 4 (80%) runs parallel to the beach at just 200 metres from the sea. Its compositionally sandy and shingle soils, low in organic matter, produce fruit with bright acidity, citrus and floral notes, and a subtle, intriguing briny salinity. Block 2 (20%) sits approximately 1,200 metres from the beach, with rich alluvial soils that support a healthy canopy and contribute ripe, fleshy stone fruit and exotic flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRipe and generous on the nose, with aromas of stone fruit, guava and lychee, lifted by lovely citrus and floral elements that lend elegance and restraint. The palate is dry but full of fleshy fruit, with delicate exotic notes of gooseberry and passionfruit, finishing with a distinctive and appealing hint of coastal salinity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutstanding as an aperitif and equally at home at the table. Pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, grilled fish, sushi, soft goat's cheese or a light Asian-inspired dish. The saline finish makes it a natural partner for oysters and shellfish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGrape Variety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sauvignon-blanc-wines\" title=\"Sauvignon Blanc Wines\"\u003eSauvignon Blanc\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drink Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53709505986903,"sku":"122912","price":20.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0899\/6824\/7127\/files\/Te_Pa_The_Reserve_Collection_Seaside_Sauvignon_Blanc_2023_75cl.jpg?v=1780586340","url":"https:\/\/www.drinkfinder.co.uk\/products\/te-pa-the-reserve-collection-seaside-sauvignon-blanc-75cl","provider":"Drink Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
