Description
There are precious few guarantees in life, but the quality, purity and sheer pleasure to be found in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc come pretty darn close. Mount Riley is a well-known and well-loved producer whose Savvies are renowned for the freshness and clarity of the fruit - think grapefruit, kiwi, gooseberry and passion fruit flavours that shine through vintage after vintage. These wines possess the substance and acidity to pair with rich seafood dishes or pasta prima vera.

Tasting Notes
It is beautifully lifted on the nose showing white flesh nectarine, green rockmelon, feijoa and lime zest characters. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity and purity, together with fine texture and perfectly pitched acidity. It is instantly appealing and offers terrific drinking. At its best: now to 2021. Score - 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Aug. 2018)
