Intensely aromatic with vibrant flavours of passionfruit, ripe tropical fruit and gooseberry. The palate is well balanced, with fine acidity delivering a lingering finish.

Delicious with fresh fish, or lightly spiced Asian cuisine.

The Straits Sauvignon Blanc is grown across a variety of soil types in Marlborough. Gravels provide tropical flavours, clay loams produce citrus notes and deep silty soils lift the aromatic quality. The best parcels are selected for this wine and harvested only when fully ripe.

Fruit for this reserve wine is destemmed and gently pressed, then cool fermented in stainless steel tanks to retain the pure fruit flavours. After ferment the wine was left for a period on yeast lees to develop texture and complexity.
