Sauvignon Blanc

2018 North Canterbury Sauvignon Blanc

Mount Brown Estates Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful expression of this iconic varietal from the scenic North Canterbury region. This 2018 vintage presents a bright, pale straw color, enticing the eye and hinting at the wine's refreshing character. On the palate, it showcases a medium body that beautifully balances its lively acidity, delivering a mouthwatering crispness. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing vibrant notes of zesty citrus and tropical fruit, intertwined with subtle herbal undertones that provide depth and complexity. This Sauvignon Blanc is a dry, well-structured wine, with just a touch of minerality that enhances its overall appeal. Perfect for pairing with seafood or a fresh summer salad, this wine is both inviting and invigorating, making it an excellent choice for any occasion.

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
