Winemaker Notes
The acidity is well contained and supported by a bowl of semi-tropical fruits (cherimoya, banana passionfruit ). It is quite delicious, imbued by a sense of completeness and fulfilment. The first glass leaves the palate with a refreshing tingle and a hint of pineapple.
This wine is well suited to fresh fish and white meat dishes.

Leafy herbs and nettles. A cooler expression full of spring garden smells. The palate has attractive crisp acid cut through lime and green mango fruits. Drink now. Screw cap.
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.
