Kingfisher Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Apple, Dry, Nectarine

"Splendidly appealing, the fragrant bouquet shows Granny Smith apple, capsicum, nectarine and green tea aromas. The palate is equally attractive with youthful fruit intensity, together with fine texture and zesty acidity, finishing mouth-watering and delectable. At its best: now to 2026" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2024

This is classic Marlborough—fresh, clean, and super bright. It’s a wine that really shows off the region’s signature style with lots of energy and personality. Right from the first sniff, this wine is bursting with tropical aromas—think ripe passionfruit and zesty grapefruit. On the palate, it’s just as fresh and full, with a full burst of gooseberry, black currant, and a citrus kick. It’s bright and full of flavour, but still well-balanced and refreshing. The texture is crisp and full, with a nice clean finish that lingers just long enough to make you want another sip. It’s best enjoyed young to keep all that fresh, vibrant character, so aim to drink it in the next 2-3 years for maximum enjoyment.

Food Pairing: The wine’s tropical fruit flavours make it an ideal match for shellfish (oysters, shrimp) or fish dishes, like grilled white fish or ceviche.
