Schubert, Sauvignon Blanc, Wairarapa, New Zealand, 2017

Geisenheim graduates Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling said auf wiedersehen Deutschland and G'day New Zealand in 1998, buying land in Gladstone, Wairarapa, where this Sauvignon Blanc is produced. Partial barrel fermentation gives rounded edges to this weighty cuvee - flavours reminiscent of grass, elderflower and gooseberry emerge in this appetising, balanced and refreshing white.
