“Grown in one of Marlborough’s coolest vineyards, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a tasting experience that blends richness and minerality: a New Zealand masterpiece.”
“Hints of sea breeze, grapefruit, kiwi, and passion fruit. Crisp and mouth-watering on the palate, with a salty, textured finish.” (Decanter World Awards 2024) • Screw cap
