Sourced from vineyards across the Marlborough region, this intense Sauvignon Blanc is alive with a myriad of flavours dominated by gooseberry, passionfruit, fresh citrus and herbaceous aromas.

Vineyards range from coastal to clifftops and from stony riverbeds to deep fertile silt-clay loams, providing us with a “fruit salad” of aromas, flavours and acidities to craft this regional blend that delivers a fresh and vibrant wine that truly represents memorable Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough

 

Food Pairing

Perfect aperitif wine, serve chilled on warm summer days. Fresh herbal flavours match well with most salads, whereas the riper tropical flavours match well with any fish or Thai food.
