Stoney River Sauvignon Blanc - Marlborough 2023
From New Zealand’s famed wine region comes another stunning Sauvignon Blanc from Stoney River. Marlborough’s temperate climate, long sunshine hours and cool nights provide the perfect growing conditions for this centuries old grape variety. Originally at home in Bordeaux, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is now considered among the best, if not the best, in the world.
“It’s brightly expressed and immediately appealing with green apple, lemon peel, apricot and jasmine notes, leading to an intensely flavoursome palate that’s juicy and lively. Splendidly supported by vibrant acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering.”
2022 Vintage - "Beautifully ripe and aromatic, the inviting bouquet shows passionfruit, green rockmelon, apple and lime zest characters, leading to a vibrant palate that is punchy and flavoursome. The wine offers terrific fruit power and intensity, finishing long and delectable." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
