New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is known for its strong aroma, featuring red capsicum (bell pepper) and gooseberry profiles, along with rich passionfruit and tropical fruit undertones. Additional elements include hints of freshly cut grass, tomato stalks, grapefruit, or lime.
Back in 1975, when the first Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted in Marlborough, no one could have foreseen the remarkable reputation this grape variety would achieve in just a few decades.
