Discover a refreshing and lively Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand’s renowned wine regions. This non-vintage blend showcases the best of the Wairau Valley, Awatere Valley, and Waihopai Valley, creating a harmonious and complex white wine that’s perfect for any occasion.

On the nose, expect an inviting burst of lime zest, lemongrass, fennel, and fresh herbs, leading to a medium-bodied palate with bright, tangy acidity. The wine’s vibrant character is complemented by a textured and flavorful finish, making it an ideal choice for immediate enjoyment.

Winemaker Notes:
Our blend begins with fruit from the heart of the Wairau Valley, known for its classic passionfruit and crisp grassy notes. We then add layers of complexity with grapes from the expanding Awatere Valley, where the proximity to the Pacific Ocean imparts a distinctive minerality and elegance. Finally, fruit from the southern Waihopai Valley, with its gravel soils and cooler climate, contributes a unique Sauvignon Blanc character that balances the blend beautifully.

In the glass, this wine shines with a brilliant pale yellow hue. The aroma is intense, featuring gooseberries, feijoas, and ripe tropical fruits. The palate opens with fresh-cut grass and preserved lemon, leading to a luscious passionfruit pot de creme finish with lingering notes of fresh herbs and clean minerality.

Perfect for pairing with seafood, salads, or as an aperitif, this Sauvignon Blanc is a must-try for wine enthusiasts seeking a taste of New Zealand’s finest. Price and availability may vary by store. Vintage date may differ from image shown.
