Winemaker Notes
Light straw in color with green highlights. The nose is dominated by green olive, lemongrass and capsicum with hints of nectarine. The rich fruit intensity shows sweet capsicum, gooseberry and rockmelon flavors. The palate is long, with the fresh herbaceous notes complemented by the riper tropical fruit flavors. A well-balanced wine with the fresh, crisp acidity associated with this style.

Professional Ratings
Recognized for its distinctively herbaceous and aromatic, Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand is perfectly suited to the grape with its maritime climate, plenty of rainfall and abundant sunshine. Producers have almost unilaterally embraced cutting-edge winery technology, resulting in clean, high-quality wines at every price point from wallet-friendly to premium. Sauvignon blanc is at its best in Marlborough but thrives throughout as the country. It is New Zealand’s most planted and successful variety, also accounting for an overwhelming majority of its exports.
