Winemaker Notes
"Fragrant, with aromas of pineapple, passion fruit, tomatillo, fresh pea and wheat grass. The palate is round and spotless, with a tropical overload of sweet and tart tastes." - Wine Ethusiant Editor's Choice
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.
