Ultra-crisp New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with ripe tropical fruit and dazzling freshness
From the distinguished Awatere Valley in New Zealand’s famous Marlborough region, this is an intensely zesty Sauvignon Blanc. Look forward to ripe tropical guava and mango fruit with a zesty lemon and lime finish. Pure refreshment.
In 1864, ploughman William Jones set sail from Gravesend to Auckland on the beautiful clipper Eagle Speed, which you’ll find on the label. His dream was to make his fortune panning for gold. In that he didn’t succeed, but he did buy a plot of land in Marlborough. Four generations later, his family are reaping the rewards tending vineyards of Sauvignon Blanc and making this terrific white. From Marlborough’s renowned Awatere Valley, the ripe tropical fruit – think guava, kiwi, with a touch of mango – is balanced by a zesty lime freshness and flinty minerality. A refreshing glass on its own and equally tasty with seafood – from panfried fish to sizzling chilli prawns.
