Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
Produced from four vineyards in the heart of the Wairau Valley by one of New Zealand's most decorated wineries. The varying plots in the valley are individually cold fermented and left on the lees prior to blending, filtering and bottling. Unoaked and released young.
Taste
Pungent aromas of ripe gooseberry, tropical passion fruit and herbaceous hints before an intense, concentrated and zesty palate of fresh citrus fruits and nectarine with a crisp and lingering finish.
Enjoy
This wine can be enjoyed now or over the next two years. An accompaniment to scallops, oysters or onion tart, or just enjoy on its own.

    A very fine wine indeed

    This is a classic New Zealand SB and is very classy at any price let alone the special offer from Majestic! Very highly recommended to all.

    Not bad, better out there

    Gooseberry, cut grass and a lot of acidity. A perfectly drinkable wine, but there are better Kiwi Sauvs out there...

    My favourite of the of the mid-range 12s, and I've tried lots. Complicated and powerful rendition of the grape and pure Marlborough. 2013 is threatening to be a good year so I shall stick with this until those start arriving for more experimentation.

    Everything Kiwi Sauv Blanc should be

    An exceptionally good value Kiwi which exhibits everything you'd expect from this maker and this region. Great mineral finish and refreshing with all the citrus overtones you anticipate from a good Sauv. Blanc.

    I don't normally drink white wine, but I think I'm converted!

    Beautiful! Fresh, lemony, refreshing...it really is one of the nicest Sauvignon Blanc's I've ever tasted! I'll definitely be re-ordering this one!

    5 star wine, wholly unexpected taste, great stuff.

    Avoiding pretension, this is an extraordinary wine with a quite-different-from-normal-Sauvignon taste. Fine bouquet, beautiful on the palate and has legs. Top banana.
