Texture Takes Center Stage in Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc

Bokumo Wine offers a wide selection of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand’s premier wine region. This one, however, comes from Martinborough, a smaller region on the North Island. The defining characteristic of this Sauvignon Blanc can be summed up in a single word: texture. Described by the winery itself as “the quintessential Martinborough style,” this Sauvignon Blanc delivers a vibrant display of tropical fruit, complemented by a distinctive mouthfeel and a long, complex, dry finish.
The grapes come from two Palliser vineyards. 59% are from the “Wool Shed” vineyard, with the remainder from the “Penkarou” vineyard. 10% of the grapes are fermented in old barrels.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant pale green-yellow. The color appears no different from that of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
The aroma is dominated by fruit, but also has spicy notes. Guava, apple, and passion fruit are layered with spices reminiscent of garam masala. This is what gives the wine its distinctive character.
On the palate, the wine is fresh and focused. Zesty lime zest enhances the rich fruit flavors. From the mid-palate onward, the texture becomes noticeably richer. There are also mineral notes reminiscent of wet stone. The finish is long, dry, and complex, with lingering Mediterranean herbal nuances such as basil. The residual sugar is approximately 3 g/L, making it distinctly dry.
Aging
Best enjoyed while fresh. Wine critic Cameron Douglas MS recommends drinking it until around 2029.
Pairing
Fresh seafood and dishes with herbs are excellent pairings.
- Tomato, mozzarella, and basil bruschetta (the herbal notes of basil complement the wine’s finish)
- Thai-style steamed mussels with coconut (the sweetness and spice of the coconut complement the wine’s aromas)
- Spaghettini with clams and basil in oil (the umami of the shellfish and the aroma of basil complement the wine’s herbal notes)
- Grilled sea bass with lemon and herbs (the freshness of lime zest enhances the simple umami of the fish)
Comparing it with Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc highlights the differences. Be sure to enjoy how the same grape variety can express itself differently depending on the region and style.
