Top winemaker David Hohnen of Cloudy Bay fame joins forces with the Marlborough Grape Grower's Co-operative for this Sauvignon that's new to Sainsbury's from July. Blending grapes from the Wairau, Waihopai, Ornaka and Awatere valleys, it's a distinctive style with a big hit of green bell pepper, sugar snap peas and pea shoots on the nose. There's a mid-weight intensity to the punchy palate, that's packed with juicy lime, green pepper and fresh lemon, all underpinned by bright, linear acidity.
