Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from Matua opens with a very fragrant gooseberry and yellow grapefruit pith bouquet with hints of tangerine and asparagus. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is very bright, fresh, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tart yellow grapefruit and lime zest blend with notes of asparagus. We also detected hints of honeydew melon and ginger. The finish is quite refreshing. The Tasting Panel would pair this zesty Sauvignon Blanc with swordfish tacos. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The first New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc introduced to market is still as pure as our first batch. You’ll be met with lemony, citrus notes and a hint of vibrant passionfruit and basil. The palate is fresh and vibrant with concentrated blackcurrant leaf and a hint of classic cutgrass and green melon. So, refreshing, you’ll be left wanting another glass.
