A Best Buy |
| Notes from TeAwa: Meticulous effort from our viticulture team ensured the vineyards delivered clean, concentrated, and balanced fruit jam packed with classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc flavours. The fruit was gently crushed and pressed, and the clear juice was run off for a cool ferment with yeast chosen to highlight the punchy aromatics of this variety. After a short period ageing on lees, the wine was blended and bottled. |
