Pithy, intense and focused with flavours of white pepper, citrus fruit and fresh green herbs. There's mouth-watering acidity and a fine, chalky finish. Lower than average yields have given this wine extraordinary texture.

Powerful and opulent with a flinty backbone to balance the concentrated stone fruit and barrel fermentation complexities.

Bannockburn produce wines of character and complexity. You get nothing less with this serious take on Sauv Blanc. Fermentation in ¼ new oak and on lees for 10 months gives this wine structure and texture, a great drink for any lover of wine.

Family owned Villa Maria Estate has been rated as New Zealands

Umamu Estate only releases their wines when theyve had time to develop in the bottle and this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is drinking beautifully now. In the glass: Beautifully vibrant bright lemon with a still-youthful green tint. On the nose: Lifted mix of toast and honey development. On the palate: Rich and beautifully developed with a lovely warm core of buttered toast, preserved lemon and lemon curd in a terrifically textured, layered and complex wine. So remarkably fresh and complex.

Since taking over the reigns at Cullen in 1989, Vanya Cullen has taken this esteemed winery to new heights including winning for herself the Gourmet Wine Traveller Winemaker of the Year honours along the way. The Mangan Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is the sibling to the Cullen Vineyard version and shares the same level of elegance and flavour precision. Add to that precision an added layer of complexity and texture on the palate and you have what many consider to be Western Australia's premier 'classic dry white'.

The wine is quintessentially Marlborough in profile with bright aromas of guava, citrus fruits, blackcurrant and sweet crushed herbs. The palate is elegantly proportioned with lovely soft acid carrying the fruit flavours to a long, pure finish. Food Pairing Enjoy with fresh seafood, Summer salads and fine Asian cuisine.

Anna and Jason Flowerday run the Te Whare Ra vineyard in Marlborough according to organic and bio dynamic practices. The fruit is picked and sorted by hand, then processed in a winery especially designed for small-batch wine making. On the nose, this Sauvignon has characters of elderflower and white currant with ripe tropical and citrus fruits. These follow on the palate, which is fine and soft with vibrant, fleshy fruit, balanced by ripe, juicy acidity and lingering minerality.
