Waihopai Valley

Region: New Zealand, Marlborough, Waihopai Valley

Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting notes: An expressive bouquet of lime zest, punchy herbs and gooseberry. The fleshy fruit core is focussed by a backbone of lively acidity, carrying classic varietal characters to a lengthy finish.

Food pairing: The combination of the fresh acidity and delicate palate of this wine will lend itself well to seafood and salads. Try alongside oysters with a mild vinaigrette, or a crab and artichoke salad.
