Description
Our Sauvignon Blanc is named “The Starlet” because of her international popular appeal – a blend of both old and new world style. She’s also fresh and fruity and best enjoyed young!
Tasting Notes:
“Surprising aromas of liquorice and fennel, the palate unfolds with a refreshing burst of lemon and lime with notes of cinnamon and walnut giving a delightfully unique experience.”
Olly Masters (Winemaker)
Food Match
Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing dry white wine with our textural style displaying more intense tropical fruit flavours. It’s a wine that can be savoured on its own or enjoyed with food where it’s particularly suited to fresh and grilled seafood, ideal with most appetisers and a perfect match to salads, vegetable dishes or white meats. The best cheese pairings include goat, feta or sharp cheddars.
95/100 Outstanding “There’s no mistaking the sense of power and varietal pungency, pure fruit aromas of lemon, fresh thyme and gooseberry, pineapple and peach, then nettles and a fine lees and complexity. There’s also a signature of Central Otago with a savoury dried herb quality. Delicious, fresh and vibrant on the palate with a saline quality to the backbone of acidity, also highlighting a sandy mineral theme. Fruit flavours mirror the bouquet with peach and citrus then some tropical fruit highlights. An excellent example with a lengthy finish, it is also a wine that speaks of Central Otago with a Marlene Dietrich-like sophistication - a touch of piercing elegance.” Jan 2025 (Cameron Douglas MS, www.camdouglasms.com)
