2024 Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand (375ml HALF BOTTLE)

*HALF BOTTLE*

WINEMAKER’S NOTES:

Pale lemon. Classical Marlborough and reflective of the warm summer with aromas of grapefruit, lemongrass, white currant, peach, exotic fruits and crushed herbs. Pure and concentrated with intermingling flavours of grapefruit, white peach, lemongrass, passionfruit and citrus and a saline, mouth-watering finish. Medium bodied, the palate is powerful and dense yet retains elegance and freshness with a lingering, precise finish.

A perfect accompaniment to oysters and fresh seafood, Japanese cuisine, summer salads, light poultry and salty cheeses.

TASTING NOTES:

The life of the party, this lucid, bombastic Savvy B offers up heady lime, lemongrass and pink grapefruit aromas, with a whisper of dried herbs below. There’s a gently slippery quality to the texture. In rushes the limey acidity to dial it up a notchor ten.
