{"product_id":"church-road-sauvignon-blanc-2024","title":"CHURCH ROAD SAUVIGNON BLANC 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis wine was grown on our Matapiro Vineyard in the cooler Crownthorpe Terraces\nsub-region of Hawke’s Bay. At approximately 200 M above sea level, this is our\nmost elevated and inland vineyard. Being further from the moderating influence\nof the sea breeze, there is greater diurnal temperature fluctuation, with warm days\nand cool nights, perfect for retaining aromatics and acidity. The vineyard is\nplanted on old river terraces, high above the present-day course of the Ngaruroro\nRiver. Consisting of a very light shallow topsoil over old river gravels, the topsoil\ncontains a proportion of iron rich volcanic ash which results in an iron oxide\nstaining, turning the originally grey gravels a rusty red hue. These free draining,\nlow nutrient soils, known locally as ‘red metals’ are perfect for quality viticulture. The vines were trained to 3 cane VSP with a modest crop load. Around 70% leaf\nremoval was targeted in the fruit zone, allowing dappled light and good air\ncirculation without excessive exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Church Road","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50977212956983,"sku":"596618","price":22.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/3855\/1351\/files\/ChurchRoadSauvBlanc.png?v=1742519198","url":"https:\/\/church-road.com\/products\/church-road-sauvignon-blanc-2024","provider":"Church Road Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
