The palate is dry, full and energetic, driven by bright acidity before a long, focused finish. Fruit was harvested in the cool of the evening and fermented at low temperatures, helping retain the vivid aromatics that make Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc so appealing while giving this wine extra depth and texture. Vegan-friendly and built to remain lively over the next few years, it is an excellent choice for oysters, grilled fish or goat's cheese dishes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sauvignon Blanc comes from Dillons Point in Marlborough.
