Marlborough has a 5-star reputation for citrusy-fresh and tropical Sauvignon Blanc. But this 94-point white from a renowned estate takes quality to a new level. Brimful of nettle, bell pepper, grapefruit and passionfruit, its vibrant, pure and fresh.

Since the 1980s, New Zealand has been wowing the world with its terrific Sauvignon Blanc whites. It seems wine lovers can’t get enough of it. In fact, this year there's predicted to be a shortfall of 8 million bottles. Grab a case while you can! This is an impressive 94-point white from the Holdaway estate in Marlborough. The family started the farm in 1854, buying up land in Wairau and Dillons Point, now two key areas for vines. Enjoy their exceptional, award-winning white. It’s from 2020 – a brilliant vintage for New Zealand. Sam Kim in Wine Orbit described the wine as “impressively aromatic showing passionfruit, nettle, nectarine and lime sorbet characters” with “excellent concentration, together with terrific fruit purity and vibrancy.”
