2025 The Better Half Sauvignon Blanc

The nose is vibrant with zesty fruit aromas of peach, nectarine, and passion fruit, along with notes of lemon zest, kiwi, and granny apple. This quintessentially zesty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is incredibly lively on the palate, with citrus notes and a generous layering of mouth-watering fruit flavors and herbaceous hints.

"Appealing aromas of lime, white peach and kiwi fruit lead to a palate that's shows lovely, delicate fruit woven neatly with bright acidity, and padded by a softly pithy texture. It steers clear of the green, underripe pungency common to this style and is the better (half) for it." 90 points, Christina Pickard, Wine Enthusiast
