Te Pa, Signature Series Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand 2024

Fermentation and ageing in cigar-shaped French oak barrels lends lovely weight and texture to this Marlbrough Sauvignon, which is new to the Co-op's autumn/winter range. There's a core of bold green fruit on the palate – lime and apple – with some tropical pineapple hints, joined by coconut-edged aromas on the lime zest and lime juice nose.
