Classic Marlborough Sauvignon with ‘leap from the glass’ freshness. Twist the screw cap and unleash the mouthwatering tropical aromas of the world’s most unmistakable Sauvignon style. New Zealand Sauvignon is now so famous it’s hard to believe that less than 40 years ago, when Phil and Chris Rose first saw Marlborough’s potential for crafting Sauvignon Blanc, they had to ask permission from the authorities! Back in 1978, the only agriculture deemed viable in what is now known as Marlborough’s Golden Mile – home to Cloudy Bay too – was growing alfalfa. Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing, as is this latest release of Tikohi. The family recommend this as a glass solo or with salmon, spicy noodles or the local seafood catch of the day.

"Scintillating Sauvignon that craves to be drunk. Deep and ripe, streaked with crisp green fruit" Oz Clarke
