Marlborough is known as one of the sunniest places in New Zealand and for having the perfect amount of rain through the year, rain that generally falls at the right time, creating a balance that produces some of the most delicious Sauvignon Blanc in the world.
Very pale yellow with classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc aromas of lifted citrus, tropical fruit, and crushed herbs. A fresh, juicy wine with vibrant acidity and plenty of weight and length on the palate. Ripe, tropical fruit flavor with passion fruit, melon, and grapefruit. All these factors have resulted in the plethora of fruit flavors, crisp acidity, and complexity of this stunning wine. Ready for immediate enjoyment, this wine will continue to develop from one to three years.
