Wine Description
The Story
The majority of the fruit for Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from the estate’s vineyard, which is situated just 18 meters (60 feet) above sea level on the banks of Taylor River near the mouth of Cloudy Bay. The soil consists of free-draining alluvial loam over deep, stony river deposits. Eleven hectares (27acres) are planted to Sauvignon Blanc using mass selected clones. The remaining fruit is purchased from adjacent Meadowbank vineyards.
