Winemaker Notes
This full bodied dry Sauvignon Blanc has decadent ripe tropical fruit aromas. The palette is balanced, encompassing ripe passion fruit and citrus aromas with a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs, full bodied and textural with a crisp finish.

This has a pale floral perfume that brings jasmine to mind. It's round and supple, with a delicate minerality, a flavor that recalls quinine. That light mineral grip places the wine with grilled chicken sausages or other white meats.
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.
