Pilferer Sauvignon Blanc 2019
Marlborough

New Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc from the superstar region for the grape, Marlborough. The grapes are so delicious, pesky Rosella parrots like to take their share. Protected grapes means the wine is saved, here packed with passion fruit and nettle flavours.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.
