"On The Brink" 2019 Fincher & Co
"On The Brink" 2019 is a New Zealand white wine produced by Fincher & Co. It is a blend of 70% Sauvignon and 30% Semillon, sourced from "The Brink" vineyard which is the oldest organic site in Marlborough, planted in 1992. The 3.5 hectares are located on Renwick Terrace overlooking the Wairau Plain and is mainly planted with Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
The wine has an aromatic bouquet of lemongrass, white peach, and light mineral notes. In the mouth, aromas of lemon peel and lime are perceptible. The verticality of the sip is mainly due to the presence of the Semillon, but it is at the same time rich and full-bodied. Fascinating today, it is predisposed to long ageing and will give its best with time.
