"The wine is instantly appealing on the nose displaying passionfruit, currant, nectarine and lime zest characters with a touch of sweet basil. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity and vibrancy, wonderfully framed by fine texture and juicy acidity. Superbly expressed and brilliantly priced. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim Wine Orbit Sept 2016.
This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is light and zesty with lively fruit flavours. Layers of juicy passion fruit and fresh peach combine with herbaceous characters to provide a pleasing mouth feel and a refreshing finish. Grapes for this delicious sauvignon blanc were sourced from different sub-regions in Marlborough and then fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and zing.
Perfect for immediate drinking on its own or a terrific match with fresh seafood or a green salad

Always a good choice!

The best.
Doug - 27/05/2017
A completely understated wine. Smooth, fruity, generous and sophisticated. For people who have not tasted it before, comments are usually "Wow, what is this?" The answer: it is probably one of the best kept secrets on the market. Blackmarket, please don't put the price up!!

Enjoyed so much another has been ordered.

What can I say? There are minor variations vintage to vintage, but this brew remains excellent, and superb value. Occasionally, I drift away to try something else, but I always come back. This is the 'go-to' sav, the one that's always in the fridge.

Margaret - 28/12/2016
My judgement/voting is also based on previous vintages of W5. Have opened only one bottle of the 2016 vintage so far and likely by the time I have tried a few more bottles my vote may be even higher.

Sadly the wine seems to be a little more acid and less fruity than recent years - maybe it will mature a little over the next 6 months.
