Winemaker Notes
This is intensely aromatic and immensely appealing on the nose showing passionfruit, feijoa, jalapeno and kaffir lime characters, followed by a flavorsome palate that's filled with delectable fruit flavors. Brilliantly structured by lively acidity, offering fabulous drinking.

COMMENTARY: The 2021 Waipara Springs Sauvignon Blanc is intense and rewarding on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with aromas and flavors of grapefruit peel and chalky notes. Pair it with smoked mussels on angel hair pasta. (Tasted: August 18, 2022, San Francisco, CA)
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.
