Pale lemon in color. Classical Marlborough with aromas of blackcurrant, grapefruit, lime and crushed herbs underscored with complexing hints of tropical fruits and gooseberry. Pure and concentrated with flavours of white peach, boxwood, citrus and smoky, wet river stone notes. The palate is concentrated yet elegant with flavour density and a lingering, precise finish. A perfect accompaniment to fresh seafood, summer salads, light poultry and goat's cheese.
We recommend drinking our 2022 Sauvignon Blanc while it is young and fresh, but the wine is capable of developing nicely beyond five years if carefully cellared.

Fresh and aromatic, with lemon verbena and lemongrass flavors that are juicy and refreshing, a touch of salted lime and fresh-grated ginger, while pear and yuzu notes linger on the finish. Drink now. 685,000 cases imported.

The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is a well-made, ripe expression that provides immediate enjoyment and balance. It is tender and fresh with elderflower, capsicum and apple citrus flavors on the appealing, lightly textured finish.

Heady aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and lime leaf lead to a crisp, perky palate dominated by bright, limey acidity. Still on the young side, another year in bottle should do this good.
