Classical French Sauvignon Blanc is a softer style to traditional NZ Sav. Fantastic value for those who get need a break from the super-crisp Marlborough versions.  Lower acid, more body, and more persistence on the palate.

Bright yellow with a hint of green. Dry, zesty, lemony citrus aromas. Citrus fruit and green herbs on the palate, well balanced, with a crisp and refreshing acidity. Serve chilled on its own or with appetizers, cooked or smoked meats and fish, with seafood or goat cheese.

5 STARS FOR THE SERVICE AND THE WINE

I purchased 2 bottles of wine from over 14,500 km away as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law in Wellington. Michael was most helpful, both in helping me with my selection as well as having them delivered promptly. I will definitely be shopping here again. The recipients' LOVED them both. I know that is a rather weak critique of the wine, but I am only the messenger!

Chardonnay drinkers Sauvignon Blanc

As a chardonnay drinker I'm not overly keen on the real citrusy Sauvignon Blancs. This one though is quite different, a really lovely wine, subtle flavours and lovely on it's own or with meals.
