Wine Review: This clear and light hay colored Sauvignon Blanc from Matua opens with a white grapefruit and guava bouquet with hints of white peach and limestone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, crisp, zesty, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a white grapefruit and lime blend with notes of tonic water and yellow bell pepper. We also detected hints of white peach and chalky minerality. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger and last for a while. We would pair this refreshing very good value Sauvignon Blanc swordfish kabobs or with a poke bowl. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Here at Matua, Sauvignon Blanc is pretty special. That's because back in 1974, we produced New Zealand's very first Sauvignon Blanc. On first sip you’ll be met with lemony, citrus notes and a hint of vibrant passion fruit and basil. The palate is fresh and vibrant with concentrated blackcurrant leaf and a hint of classic cut-grass and green melon. So, refreshing, you’ll be left wanting another glass.
