The Stanley Sauvignon Blanc 2022 shows appealing summery rockmelon, kiwifruit, apple and lemon zest notes, followed by a succulent palate that’s lively and flavoursome. Youthfully expressed with plenty of tasty flavours, the finish is long and fruity. It is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Single Vineyard from Stanley Estates’ vineyard in the Awatere Valley.
Ageing potential: This wine is typically enjoyed young, but can cellar for up to 4 years
Food pairing: Fine seafood, chicken dishes and salads, or simply drink for pleasure!
Sam Kim for Wine Orbit: 93 POINTS “..This is instantly appealing on the nose with kiwifruit, feijoa, jalapeno and lime zest characters, followed by an intensely flavoursome palate offering succulent fruit flavours together with fine texture and juicy acidity. Fabulously expressed and deliciously long on the finish…”

string(567) "Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé, Marlborough, Darling, Margaret River… Villages and regions which all have one thing in common; their own individual take on Sauvignon Blanc. The variety has classic zingy freshness, citrus notes and in the case of Marlborough in particular, gooseberry aromatics and flavours. Very pure, it can often be opulent yet also the opposite, with taut mineral notes. A classic, modern varietal with huge popularity, usually unoaked, there are an increasing number of food-focused expressions with a little barrel maturation adding texture and lift."
