- Lime zest
"Delightfully fruited and immediately appealing, the wine shows Gala apple, grapefruit, nectarine and lime zest characters on the nose, followed by a flavoursome palate that's juicy and lingering. It's brightly expressed and lively with a lengthy crisp finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2020
An engaging nose, with a hint of ripe citrus notes underlying a fresh herbal aromatic. Subtle mineral like complexities complete the picture and add interest. Ripe gooseberry and pronounced herbal flavors, along with classical capsicum and stony mineral tones. A supple and satisfying palate with persistent flavours is balanced by a fine acid backbone.
The fruit used to make the Ribbonwood 2018 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from a selection of five Wairau Valley (90%) and one Waihopai Valley (10%) vineyards. This wine has all the characters expected from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The Wairau sites typically impart a mixture of tropical and citrus notes whilst the Waihopai site brings a subtle herbal element to the wine.
Food Pairing: Ribbonwood Sauvignon Blanc is great to relax with on its own after a long day. Seafood, particularly shellfish, pairs exceptionally well, but for something a little different, moules marinière or Pesto Genoves.

Is a typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc,with a nice fruity nose. I liked the flavour very much - not as grassy or minerally as some of the cheaper sauvignons so was excellent value for money.
