6 bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, 2023, Marlborough, Dog Point, New Zealand – FREE DELIVERY

Pale straw colour. Aroma : pure and bright perfume with aromatics of grapefruit and white peach. Subtle smoke and gravelly tones layered over this create a complexity beyond the immediate fruit profile.

Palate : Juicy, plush, white fleshed fruit pour across the palate with a refreshing and defined acidity balancing the sunny fruit profile, finishing clean and dry.

Cellaring : Drinks beautifully now or can comfortably be cellared for five years or more.

Ideal wine with fresh, simple seafood dishes especially oysters. Also compliments goat’s cheese well.

“This is one of the best Sauvignon Blancs made in New Zealand each year. It has distinctive complex aromas, a medium body and fabulous purity of flavour with tangy lemon adding to the tropical flavours we all know and love in Sauvignon. This wine has more weight, depth, and length than most Sauvignon Blancs and over-delivers, big time.”  Joelle Thomson – 19.0/20 points

“A stellar wine from an outstanding vintage. Grapefruit, guava, passionfruit and other fruits abound on an intensely flavoured palate with oodles of varietal flavour. But it’s the focus, precision and mouth-watering acidity that bear testament to the exceptional quality of the wine. As good as Sauvignon Blanc gets.”  Nick Munday, Canterbury Wines – 96 points and Special Value Wine  ★ 

“If you’d like to taste Sauvignon Blanc in its modern day glory, look no further. The Marlborough sunshine and pinpoint precision in the vineyard and winery is all found here. Sourced from estate fruit in the Wairau Valley you’ll find star fruit, passion blossom, juicy pineapple and guava. The abundance of fruit continues on the palate with an electric line of acidity and sea spray finish. The dryness of the wine takes elegance to another dimension. Sith purity and drive, this is a triumph of a vintage and its magic is captured in the bottle. Drink now with raw scallop ceviche.”  Shanteh Wale, Wine Pilot – 95 points

“Bright, fresh wine with typical varietal/regional characters including capsicum, gooseberry, lemongrass and passionfruit. Appealing purity with a perfect sweet/sour balance. A pleasure to taste. Drink: 2023-2026.”  Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review – 95 points

“The thought-provoking 2023 vintage is arguably the best yet. Pale lemon/green, it is full-bodied and vigorous, with penetrating, ripe, passionfruit/lime flavours, showing a distinct ouch of complexity, and a dry, long finish. Still unfolding, it should break into full stride mid-2024+.”  Michael Cooper Buyer’s Guide to New Zealand Wines  ★★★★★
