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
