This is the flagship Sauvignon Blanc from the Fairbourne Estate, made from grapes grown on elevated sites on the north-facing slopes of the Wairau Valley. Warm days & cool nights provide optimum conditions for ripening which makes for maximum freshness & purity. Intense yet with a slightly reserved character, this well-balanced Sauvignon possesses an elegance & minerality normally only achieved by the top Sancerre & Pouilly-Fume estates. Drink early to preserve the beautiful freshness of the wine, & match with smoked salmon, melon or cured hams.
