About the wine
Vibrant, endlessly refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from a New Zealand icon
- Tropical fruits and a bright splash of citrus practically sing from the glass with each sip, gliding with a perfect balance of fruity intensity and lively crispness into a long, refreshing finish.
- Your funding gave Rod an all-access pass to some of New Zealand’s most renowned Sauvignon Blanc, thriving 185 meters above sea level in the Hawke’s Bay region, where cool daytime temperatures and ocean breezes yield deeply complex and delicious Sauvignon Blanc.
- To channel the fresh fruit character of this unique site, Rod opted for a gentle approach in the winery, choosing cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks to achieve a world-class fruity crispness. Scoop up a bottle and sip for yourself!
Best before
Enjoy this Sauvignon Blanc now or store it for two years at most.
Serving advice
Twist off the top and let gravity do the rest! It doesn't need decanting or aeration - it can be enjoyed immediately.
Food match
We make a white wine and onion broth/soup to go with Little Neck clams - just awesome with fine Sauvignon Blanc. All delicate shellfish, white fish will also go well with this sipper. Sauvignon Blanc like this will cut through strong cheeses as well.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod left his full-time post as Chief Winemaker at Craggy Range, New Zealand's most iconic winery, to set-up-shop alone and make an exclusive range of wines just for us, using the BEST grapes that Hawke's Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago have to offer.
- Rod is an immense talent, whose wines are dripping in medals, rave journalist reviews and oodles of Parker Points - and he can now strike out on his own thanks to Angel funding and backing!
- This is a huge win because Rod is at the pinnacle of New Zealand winemaking. Your tastebuds are in for an incredible treat.
