The Story Behind the Bottle
Mention Sauvignon Blanc to any wine lover and Marlborough is sure to come up – yet 30 years ago this remote region was known only for barley and sheep. The success story of Marlborough is one of the most remarkable in modern times, and one in which Hunter’s can justly claim to have played a major part. Today the estate is run by Jane Hunter, herself a trained viticulturist, and she has a string of accolades for her excellent work, including a ‘UK Women in Wine Award’, an OBE and Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to viticulture. This is a classic Kiwi Sauvignon, displaying passion fruit, crisp apple and citrus aromas. Delicious on its own and a great match for oysters, simple grilled white fish or spicy Thai dishes.
