Te Mata Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes used to craft this wine were harvested from lush vineyards, chilled and gently pressed, and cold-settled prior to fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resultant wine shows a pale gold hue, giving off aromas of guava, lime blossom, passion fruit and floral notes from its luscious bouquet. The complex and intriguing palate is brimming with grape jelly, grapefruit, fresh lime and mineral nuances, leading to a lengthy and refreshing finale. The Sauvignon Blanc is ready for immediate consumption, with a cellaring potential of about 2 years. Pair it up with seafood, salads or lightly spiced Asian cuisine, best served chilled.
Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Sauvignon Blanc
This is a concentrated Sauvignon Blanc in a typical Central Otago style. The wine displays wild gooseberry flavours intermingled with freshly cut hay and lemon notes; this moves into a full mid-palate and then the wine finishes with lingering passionfruit and rhubarb. This wine is ideal for fun-loving, responsible summer drinking.

Trinity Hill Sauvignon Blanc
Gentle flavours and aromas of lime, citrus and lemongrass compliment the distinct aroma of stone-fruit. A mineral element gives presence to a Sancerre-like textural character in the wine. The fresh acidity is balanced by a tiny amount of retained sweetness.
