Winemaker Notes
The Sherwood Sauvignon Blanc is beautifully poised with a complex array of gooseberry, grapefruit, guava and lime flavors with light touches of mineral. Tightly woven with a crisp, tangy melange of tropical fruits countered with a lean, racy finish and juicy acidity that refreshes the palate.
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.
