Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Marlborough

Product Description

Peter Vavasour founded his winery in the 1980s. It was the very first in Marlborough’s sub-region of the Awatere Valley, & so the team had the pick of the best spots for growing the finest grapes. His plan was to make elegant, restrained styles of wine, like the Sauvignon Blancs of the Loire & Bordeaux. The team have more than succeeded with this one – & now those original vines are some of the oldest in the region, it shows even greater complexity & unique character. It’s beautifully textured, with vibrant notes of tropical fruits, green pepper & citrus. A delicate note of elderflower & a flint-mineral finish adds to its elegance. Such a mouthwatering wine will be perfect for crumbly goat’s cheese.
