Wairau River Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2022

Wairau River Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is a polished, dry Marlborough Sauvignon with bright citrus, passionfruit and gooseberry flavours, backed by floral notes, a chalky mineral line and a subtle smoky edge. Old-vine fruit and measured barrel work bring satisfying texture and shape, while lively acidity keeps the palate focused and fresh. It is an excellent choice for drinkers who enjoy classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc but want a little more complexity and savoury detail. Serve it with creamy seafood, grilled fish, asparagus or fresh goat’s cheese.

What the winery says:

Wairau River describes its Reserve Sauvignon Blanc as coming from old vines in the Home vineyard. The fruit is hand harvested, with a portion fermented in old French oak to build texture and support bottle development. Concentrated tropical fruit and citrus are balanced by floral spice, chalky mineral notes and a long, poised finish. The winery recommends pairing it with creamy seafood dishes.
