Winemaker Notes
The 2015 Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc is powerful and punchy. Intense passionfruit and ripe grapefruit notes with subtle tarragon characters define the wine. Ripe crisp acidity leaves a generous memorable finish.

For true wine lovers, one of the most asked questions is: what can I buy around $15 and really enjoy? The Old Coach Road Sauvignon Blanc has heard your pleas. This wine is delicious and distinctive. Plenty of citrus and savory notes—grapefruit peel and fresh rosemary come to mind. Finishes dry and smooth—I can visualize serving with steamed white fish and garden herbs. Drinking well now.

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.
