Renowned sailors, the Butterworth Family are the new custodians of Julicher Vineyard, planted in the iconic soils of Te Muna. All their wines are Estate produced, made with a light touch by winemaker and biotechnologist Martin Bell.

Working with local grape growers, Layline gives them the opportunity to make wines in the same high-quality style as their Single Vineyard Butterworth Collection from various vineyards in the Martinborough Region.
A pure example of tank fermented single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc made from hand harvested fruit. Tropical fruit salad with freshly rubbed sage, this wine exhibits Te Muna Road's bright acidity and mouth filling texture.

Colour: Bright flax gold.

Aroma: Freshly rubbed herbs, tropical fruit salad of pineapple, mango, passionfruit dominate the palate.

Palate: The acid backbone of the Te Muna Valley is layered upon, complementing the mid palate richness from the time on fluffy lees. This Sauvignon Blanc has a powerful length, making it perfect for oysters on the deck, overlooking the ocean.

"Lush, flavoursome Sauvignon Blanc with melon, guava and lime. A bright, crisp and refreshingly dry wine.
90 points."
