This fabulous Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is the debut bottling from Jules Taylor who was the head winemaker at Kim Crawford for many years. Enticing herbal aromas of cut grass, gooseberries, lime zest, and a hint of green asparagus open onto this zingy and mouthwatering Sauvignon made in very small quantities. This is a wine of great complexity and finesse with an enveloping mouthfeel that rounds out the wine's piercing acidity and zippy citrus notes.
