With more texture than aromatics alone, this is a food-friendly Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Bright, crisp and aromatic, with generous aromas of cut grass, tomato leaf and asparagus. 

Palate

A tangy palate of citrus, bell-pepper, and bay leaves.

Producer

Boutinot's New Zealand wines are sourced from vineyards in each sub-regions of Marlborough - the Awatere, Waihopai and Wairau Valleys, as well as the breezier region of Waipara. These valleys have their own micro-climates and terroir which give a unique personality to the vineyards, grapes and finished wines.

Samantha Bailey brings her blending expertise and experienced palate to the fore in expressing the loveliest Boutinot wines from The Land of the Long White Cloud.

Alan's Personal Tasting Notes

"Bright and fresh with good acidity and great texture. It’s more kumquat & guava/passion fruit than light and mineral in style. It says it’s sourced from Nelson on the back label but with this opulent fruit profile, it reminds me more of Marlborough! Either way, it’s a cracking wine and not too harsh on the wallet!" May 2023
