This part of New Zealand in the Brancott Estate range has a reputation for producing consistent quality and this wine resembles that remark at a price that cannot be beat. You will love the fresh and elegant non-oaked style this Sauvignon blanc has to offer—zesty lemon and grapefruit with hints of peach and a touch of grass. It is a very direct, fruit driven wine with lots of style and finesse. If you are looking for a few food-pairing suggestions, try white fish. The producer also recommends hummus, olives and feta—sounds like a tasty match as well. And before I forget, if you have a smartphone, check out the handy neck tag and scan the QR code. They have a mobile app that is pretty cool!

As usual, good review! I was recently introduced to the diversity of New Zealand wines through a virtual tasting. I am really excited about trying more of their wines, and this one sounds delicious.
This is definitely a winner. Enjoy!
I really enjoy a good NZ sauv blanc, even more so a good Pinot.
Totally agree!
Purchased this tonight as I was cruising through the grocery store.. . I read your blog often but almost never remember wines you blog about. Tonight I wasn’t even going to buy wine but was walking down the isle and of course I had to look as I walked and BAM there it was. “I am getting this, I read about it on that wine blog I read all the time.” Anyway, I enjoy your blog and can’t wait to try this wine.
Awesome Jodee! I hope you enjoyed the wine…its tasty juice, agreed?
I found so many interesting articles on your blog especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here! keep up the good work.
Hey, thanks for the Kudos Reva. Please stop by again as I’m looking forward to some good discussions :)
