From the bottle:
When you’re on the flip side of the world you can’t help but think a little differently. And lucky we did otherwise we might not have founded New Zealand’s great wine region, Marlborough.
This Sauvignon Blanc is as crisp as a frosty morning and with passionfruit and grapefruit notes, is a great match with seafood, grilled chicken, summer greens and good company.
Produced by Brancott Estate and Bottled by Pernod Ricard Winemakers

When we say this wine is a classic and one of the originals, we mean it. Brancott was the very first to produce Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough, an area once thought to be too cold for winegrowing. We all know how that turned out! In any case, let’s check out the wine.
The 2022 Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc begins with a classic and quite inviting New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc aroma full of grapefruit and grass plus some more subtle touches of lemon and pear.
The wine tastes just like you would expect, which is very good. In the mouth it is full of rich tropical fruit and other flavors similar to the nose. It also features a very satisfying, crisp texture and lively mouthfeel.
It ends crisp and dry with some lingering grassiness and tropical fruit on the long, lip-smacking finish. This is a really solid example of the variety at a fabulous price.
