Grape

Sauvignon Blanc

Origin
Grown in Nelson, to the west of Marlborough, on stony loam soils with high sunshine hours and a moderating Maritime influence. The winemaking philosophy blends Old World techniques with pioneering methods now becoming commonplace in the new world.
Taste
Aromas of ripe gooseberry and tropical fruit, delicate floral notes and mineral characters. An elegant, crisp palate of citrus and gooseberry with a zingy, refreshing finish.
Enjoy
Gorgeous on a warm summer afternoon, or even to bring some sunshine to a wet afternoon. Fantastic with oysters and scallops.

    Too much Steel not enough complex flavours

    This is a poor NZ SB. There are much better on this site.

    Made Christmas lunch

    Tried in store and liked the subtle notes compared to the full on Marlborough taste assault. Bought 6 bottles and drank these with special friends and family over Christmas. A pleasant wine don't over chill, 8 C is about right.

    Superb refined SB

    This is a classy refined sauvignon blanc with all the zing of a Malborough wine but with the minerality of a classy old word version. I have drunk little better this year.

    Dissapointing

    Tasted this in store and expected better at home; suspect I served it too chilled as it was verry weak on flavour; I will try harder on the next bottle.

    cloudy bay

    my wife says this tastes like cloudy bay. that just confirms how overpriced cloudy bay is. gooseberries,elderflower,blackcurrant leaf this is good sauv/b but leaner and less exotic than some and i prefer that.ticks all the boxes. good kit.

Staff Reviews

  • It's not all about Malborough

    "For me sometimes NZ Sauvignon can be a bit like alcoholic fruit juice - here we have something different - gooseberry is replaced by lime with a minerality reminiscent of old world sauvgnon. An elegant and more restrained example of the much loved grape."

  • Manager, Majestic Marylebone

    "Fantastic Kiwi Sauvignon, although not your typical Marlborough number, this wine is from Nelson, on the Eastern shore of the Tasman Bay, in the Northern part of the South Island. Vibrant and fresh aromas of gooseberry, lime and passion-fruit leap from the glass. Very intense, the classic Sauvignon Blanc citrus and zesty flavours, but slightly richer than wines from Marlborough."
