From the New World capital of Sauvignon Blanc – New Zealand’s Marlborough – this is a brilliantly fresh, tropical fruit white. It’s from a superb family cellar too, that takes utmost care with every wine. Enjoy its grassy aromas and exuberant fruit.

Stunning new vintage of this New Zealand Sauvignon from an award winning family winery in Marlborough. Recent vintages have garnered enormous praise and enthusiasm – “the most scrumdelicious SB to pass our lips” and so on. And near-perfect conditions in 2016 meant harvest is 34% up on the previous year! Once again, we got such a great deal that we can’t reveal the name of the cellar – it would upset too many of their regular customers. A small price to pay really for such an appetising bobby dazzler of a Marlborough Sauvignon. Exuberant pink grapefruit and grassy nettle character with a bright citrus zip, this has all the usual Marlborough pizzazz and more. It’s very moreish on its own or with spicy seafood – stir-fried or on the barbie.

"Superb but dangerous. Beware – this wine is so sublime you will not be able to resist!" Online Review for 2015
