Taumata,SauvignonBlanc

Sans

Taumata is the shortened form of the longest place name in the world â€?a hill near Porangahau, south of Waipukurau in southern Hawke’s Bay.

At 85 characters we reckon it’s also the longest wine name in the world: in full and in Maori it is -Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu

Its name translates into English as “the place where Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed and swallowed mountains, known as ‘landeaterâ€? played his flute to his loved one.

If you want to try and pronounce it:- “Tow-ma-ta-fa-ka-ta-ni-ha-na-kor-o-or-ta-ma-te-a-tu-ree-pu-kapi-ki-mong-a-ho-ro-nu-ku-po-ka-ee-fen-u-aki-ta-na-ta-huâ€?/p>

Expressive grassy and floral nose backed with hints of citrus. The rounded, fruity palate �like honeydew melon �is balanced with crisp pink grapefruit and some herbal notes followed by a lively, mouthwatering juicy citrus finish.

A great balance between friut and crispness �for those who perfer their New Zealand Sauv not too overtly zingy.
