At 6 feet 10 inches tall, John Walsh cuts a formidable figure. But his reputation as a grower of first class Sauvignon Blanc is bigger still. That’s why one of the most famous names in New Zealand wine buys most of John’s grapes every vintage. We can’t say who (non-disclosure agreements and all that) but needless to say their wine sells for hefty prices! Big John, however, has agreed to give you a taste of his legendary quality under the exclusive (and excellent value) UK Mussel Pot label. It goes beautifully with New Zealand green lipped mussels (or our local equivalents) but is actually named after John’s favourite restaurant on Marlborough Sounds. Be sure to enjoy this grassy, gooseberry, lemon and lime scented mouthful nicely chilled.
