Shellback Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Blackcurrant, Dry, Mandarin

"Fresh and fragrant, the wine presents aromas of green apple, feijoa, capsicum, and lemon peel on the nose. It's juicy and flavoursome in the mouth, offering excellent fruit intensity that leads to a lengthy, delectable finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jun 2025

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is soft, with aromas of passionfruit, apple and blossom. Medium-light bodied, aromas of passionfruit, green apple and lime melded with blossom. Zingy acidity provides a vibrant flow and carries apple skin-like phenolics to a dry, crisp finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews

"Aromas and flavours of white fleshed tropical fruits, grapefruit and citrus peel. There’s a red bell-pepper idea and wet stone mineral suggestions, a touch of leesy white spice and apple.  Flavours on the palate palate mirror the bouquet framed by acidity and a fine satin mouthfeel. Best drinking from early 2026 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
