Halite Sel de Terre 2025 Sel de Terre “salt of the earth” reflects both the wine’s mineral edge and Halite’s philosophy of honesty, purity, and connection to place. This Sauvignon blanc depicts that perfectly with a soulful mix of classic and modern winemaking capturing the essence of site. Vineyard100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from the biogro certified Grava Vineyard farmed by Alistair and Karla, just south of Martinborough. The vines are grown on the terraces of the Ruamahanga river providing alluvial deposits making silt loam soils. WinemakingThe fruit was hand-picked, whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented in large format oak. It was then transferred to stainless steel where it remained on lees to build texture, while the wine was kept unadorned to let the vineyard shine. Tasting NotesThe nose shows flinty earth, lemon and grapefruit notes. The palate is creamy and textural, with delicate florals, green apple and savoury undertones. A refreshing, dry, saline finish lingers. Unfined. Unfiltered. Vegan friendly. May throw a harmless deposit in the bottle. 92 Points- Jane Skilton MW @TheRealReview 93 Points- David Bell @Winefolio 92 Points- Cameron Douglas MS Show more
