This highly rated #marlborough #sauvignonblanc proves NZ wines like this need not be one-dimensional high-acid quaffers. Grapefruit, elderflower, grassy and herby aromas on the palate. Yes, there’s a big wave of tart green fruit up front but layers continue on the palate with a bit more luscious concentration than typical for the region. Delicious.

2022 Vintage with seafood dinner. Notes of grass and herbs, not real fruity for a Sauvignon Blanc. Crisp and dry, but not my favorite.
