Get to know: V Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note
Tasting Note
V Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is a lively, fruit-packed white wine from New Zealand’s sunny Marlborough region. It bursts out the glass with zesty lime, gooseberry and passionfruit aromas, followed by mouth-watering citrus, crisp green apple and a herbal lift on the palate. Bone dry, super fresh and full of energy – everything you want from classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
Top Food Pairings:
- Courgette and lemon risotto
- Grilled prawns or smoked salmon
- Young goat’s cheese or feta
This is a bright, everyday white that’s perfect with lighter dishes or chilled on its own in the garden.
Kate Says
“This is such a good-value Kiwi Sauvignon. It’s got that classic Marlborough zip and zing – proper citrus tang with tropical fruit charm. The kind of wine you open midweek and wonder why you didn’t get a second bottle.”
