About the wine
A Sauvignon Blanc that captures the essence of Marlborough, New Zealand. Fresh gooseberry, ripe apple and kiwi with a green, grassy note, the vivid acidity of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and impressive body. Restrained rather than overblown, with a long, clean finish.
Tasting notes
PalateDelicate and elegant, with grapefruit, lime, white peach and the variety’s characteristic grassy notes.
FinishA clean, dry finish that leaves the palate refreshed.
