"A fabulously attractive, punchy sauvignon, the inviting bouquet shows passionfruit, feijoa, fresh apple and lime zest characters. The palate delivers lovely fruit power and weight, wonderfully supported by juicy acidity. It is superbly priced and immensely appealing. At its best: now to 2019" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2017.

This Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is elegant with aromatic grapefruit and passionfruit characters and a mineral note on the palate.  Layers of gooseberry, guava, green capsicum combine with herbaceous characters to provide an exceptional length and intensity. 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.

Food Pairing: Perfect for immediate drinking on its own or a terrific match with fresh seafood.
