2021 Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc - Hawke's Bay, New Zealand (750ml)

Sourced from along the gravel river terraces of the Ngaruroso river in Ohiti, this single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is blessed with warm days and cool, breezy nights, resulting in a crisp, mineral-driven wine. The wine ages on its lees in stainless steel before being fined, filtered and bottled. Intensely aromatic with ripe passionfruit and tangy grapefruit peel, a touch of grassiness, and a clean, dry finish, this is a textbook New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Racy and bright, this wine begs for a powerful, herby pairing, like Thai larb gai (ground chicken & herb salad) or salmon with lemon and dill.
