Overview
The 2016 Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from 5 family vineyards across the Marlborough region that are located on the northern side of the Wairau Valley: Home Block, Winery Block, Longbend, The Angler and Crusher. The aromas translate generously onto the palate, which is bursting with intense tropical fruit, peach, lemon, grapefruit and passionfruit. A fine, mouthwatering mineral acidity on the finish refreshes the palate and leaves you longing for more.
