Winemaker's notes:
This Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is made from small parcels of fruit selected from some of Marlborough's finest vineyard sites where the grapes enjoy ideal growing conditions of free-draining soils, warm days, cool nights and low rainfall. It was harvested at optimum ripeness and hand-crafted by our winemaker Alana McGettigan to produce exceptional wine.

Distinctively Marlborough, this Sauvignon Blanc displays gooseberry, passionfruit and honeysuckle characteristics. The palate is intensely concentrated, rich and lively with a fresh, crisp finish.
