Mount Vernon
Rising 422 metres, Mt Vernon is one of the peaks towering above Marlborough in the Wither Hills, just behind the winery here at Lawson’s Dry Hills. Named after this local landmark, the wines under this label are accessible, approachable and rewarding with a focus on fruit purity.
Mount Vernon Sauvignon Blanc
This is a wonderfully aromatic Sauvignon Blanc with flavours ranging from ripe and tropical through to herbaceous and grassy. The palate is bright and fruity with a lovely, juicy concentration and gentle finish.
From selected vineyards throughout the Marlborough region, the 2021 vintage was about 25% down in yield due to poor flowering. However, the weather came right and all our blocks were picked in ideal conditions with perfect ripeness.
