Discounting Pouilly-Fumé and Sancerre, which are very different in style, this is the best Sauvignon Blanc I have every tasted. Admittedly I know nothing about NZ wine, but you’d have to be a convert after tasting this. Dry to very slightly sweet, with aromas of passion fruit and gooseberry, yet with a clean finish. Drank it with spicy pork steaks braised with sweet onion and apple. From Majestic.
