Damned Mountain, a loose translation of 'Les Monts Damnés in homage to the great Sancerre, is a restrained style of Sauvignon Blanc that still maintains the regional character of Marlborough's signature varietal - flavours of ripe citrus, passionfruit and herbaceous grass notes with bright acidity. Winemaking is mainly in stainless steel with a small amount barrel fermented in used French oak to add texture and a savoury note.
