Culley's Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Inspired winemaking from an historic gold-winning New Zealand winery and outstanding value - a gem like this usually costs £10 or more - make this a must-stock Sauvignon for any occasion.

Our old pal Kiwi supremo Neill Culley (former chief winemaker for Babich) has taken fruit from classic Marlborough - bringing crisp, aromatic elegance - and Hawke's Bay, whose extra sunshine adds a delicious tropical note.

Established for over 100 years, the tiny Pleasant Valley Winery has an excellent reputation. That's because the founder's grandson Stephen Yelas refuses to expand - putting quality before quantity. So while this is both a first class apéritif, as well as a superb match for fish, it's strictly in limited supply.
