We’re CLEARING surplus stocks of this Champion Trophy winning + Gold Medal + Double 5-star + 93-94-94/100 rated Marlborough Sauvignon at a staggering $11.99 bottle under our legendary Hidden Label program. You know the drill… buy on trust and when this internationally acclaimed Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc turns up at your doorstep it will be wearing its REAL label. Sourced solely from the winery’s finest steeply terraced, north facing blocks. The 2023 vintage enabled longer hang time on the vines through early April resulting in optimally ripe fruit with pristine flavours. Harvested in the cool of night to maximise fruit purity, the juice was left on lees in tank for 3-months to build texture and palate weight. Its expressive aromas, balanced acidity, pure, concentrated and refreshing finish… are testament to the exceptional characters of NZ Sauvignon Blanc… and the winegrowing & winemaking of this internationally acclaimed Awatere Valley winery.

Intensely aromatic, featuring a medley of passionfruit, golden kiwifruit and lime zest. Subtle blackcurrant notes add complexity.

The palate unfolds with flavours of passionfruit, lime zest, apricot and gooseberry… complemented by subtle capsicum. The well-balanced acidity enhances the refreshing mouthfeel and lingering, pure finish. Perfect with a bowl of green lipped mussels, freshly shucked oysters or baked salmon… and friends! Best served between 6c - 8c.
