Starborough Sauvignon Blanc 2022 750ml

Critic tasting note: (2022 vintage) "Bright, even, pale yellow with a hint of green sheen. This vibrant bouquet is packed with lime and white currant entwined with tomato vine and chervil. Medium-light bodied, aromas of lime, white currant and green tomato interweaved with saline and herb. The smooth mouthfeel with fine-textured phenolics and acid precision drives a refreshing, long finish. Match with blue cod and marinated mussels over the next 3 years. Fruit from Awatere, fermented to 13% alc." - 18.5/20, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews
