Whistling Track, Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, 2025

The varietal expression isn't too 'loud' in this NZ Sauvignon Blanc – good news if you're not a huge fan of the asparagus and green pea expressions of the grape – but instead accentuates its fresher, fruitier side: lemongrass, nectarine and crunchy green lime. Cleansing on the palate, offering zingy green fruit acidity, rounded off by subtle residual sugar. Good body, clean finish.
