The Better Half Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

This wine is from Marlborough, New Zealand, a region known for its crisp, refreshing Sauvignon Blancs. Pale yellow with punchy aromas of passionfruit and citrus that leap from the glass, along with notes of guava and fresh cut grass. On the palate it is dry, juicy and intensely flavored with bright citrus, stone fruit and a pop of guava. The finish is long, carried by vibrant, refreshing acidity and a dash of salinity. Cool evenings in Marlborough help retain acidity during ripening and balance the concentrated, ripe fruit flavors. The wine is fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures and bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.

Pairing suggestions: This wine pairs well with a variety of foods. It’s often recommended with fresh shellfish like oysters or grilled fish. For something more comforting, it can be paired with cheesy enchiladas or vegetarian empanadas.
