James Suckling
"Grown in one of Marlborough's coolest climates, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a tasting experience that combines fullness and salinity: a New Zealand tour de force."
"Spices from the sea air, grapefruit, kiwi, and notes of passion fruit. Crisp and mouthwatering on the palate with a salty, textured finish." (Decanter World Awards 2024) • Screw cap closure
