Hide AdThe brand’s knowledge of the Marlborough region and the Sauvignon Blanc grape has allowed its winemakers to select and harvest grapes earlier than usual to craft this full-flavoured wine that is naturally 20 per cent lighter in alcohol and calories than a standard Sauvignon Blanc.
This wine presents fragrant passion fruit, lemons and grapefruit on the nose. These aromas are followed by a sweet pungency and ripe lemon sherbet flavours that change to mangos. The palate shows great balance with a refreshing, crisp and lively acidity.
