Another star from Kevin Judd, one of Marlborough's pioneering winemakers. Deliciously ripe and vibrant flavours of white nectarine, mandarin, papaya and fresh herbs open up and get better in the glass, enlivened by zingy lemon peel acidity. Oozes class! For an extra £10, the 2017 Wild Sauvignon (which undergoes up to six months of wild-yeast fermentation in old barriques) might be too funky for some but is also top quality.
