Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights created an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop delicious acidity which balances the intense varietal characteristics of ripe grapefruit, white nectarine, and tropical fruits resulting in an elegant, refreshing, crisp flavorsome wine that distinctly says Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

| A heady perfume of salted lime, basil, dill, and star fruit is dazzling. Just-ripened pineapple makes a vivid first impression, followed by green garden herbs and a line of crushed stone. Crisp and clean. |

| This sauvignon blanc bleeds white peach, white cherry and passion fruit from its tart, edgy generosity. For roast halibut or other rich fish. |
