Wine Review: This zesty, pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand has a very fragrant nose of gooseberry, white grapefruit, lychee, and basil. It is crisp and bright on the palate with integrated medium-plus acidity, medium-minus body and nice balance. Its flavors include white grapefruit, passionfruit, stony minerality, and mango with notes of bell pepper, fresh basil, and oregano. It closes with a mouthwatering and mineral-driven finish that lingers for quite a while. Serve with creamy spring vegetable pasta primavera. - Mark

Winemaker Notes: Bouquet: The nose is enticing with vibrant fresh herbs, passionfruit, and mandarin aromas.
Palate: The palate is brimming with pure fruit and bright fresh acidity, that leads into a complex and mineral finish.
Food Match: Fish & chips, fresh oysters and BBQ prawns.
