Intense, showcasing fresh-grated ginger, lemongrass and dried lemon thyme on a smooth, plump and juicy frame. Offers notes of dried apricot and toasted green tea, along with a thread of minerality that gains momentum on the finish. Drink now. 500 cases imported.

Tasted blind, you'd be able to guess this 2022 Sauvignon Blanc was from the Awatere Valley: this cooler, windier sub-region typically produces Marlborough Sauvignons that sit in the greener flavor spectrum, rather than the tropical side. This is exemplary with its gooseberry, elderflower and green capsicum-like flavors. There's more than just flavor, nice weight builds through the mid palate, and there's decent concentration. Bright, sassy and zesty, drink now to enjoy the vibrancy of youth.

Aromas of sage, elderflowers, peaches and dragon fruit. Medium-bodied with citrus acidity and silky texture. Poppy seed and jasmine tea on the palate. Fresh. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.
