Tasting notes
An intensely aromatic, refreshing NZ Sauvignon Blanc with zesty citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, accompanied by tropical fruit hints such as passionfruit and pineapple. There is also a subtle herbaceous undertone, adding complexity to the wine. Ideal with oysters, asparagus and goats cheese or simply on its own.
Why we recommend this wine
A classic Marlborough in terms of quality and price.
The wine
Sauvignon Blanc grapes from the gravelly soils are fermented in stainless steel tanks to maintain their freshness and then bottles without fining and thus vegan friendly.
The wine estate
Pask Winery is located in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand’s North Island. It was founded in 1985 by Chris Pask, who recognized the potential of the Gimblett Gravels area for growing premium grapes.
