New Zealand Sauvignon that every vintage clocks up Golds and high points. One of the first to set up in Marlborough in 1982, they have since been winning hoards of prizes, and no wonder with wines like this – so dazzling fresh, citrusy and elegant.

Mention Sauvignon Blanc to any wine lover and Marlborough is sure to come up – yet 30 years ago this remote region was known only for barley and sheep. The success story of Marlborough is one of the most remarkable in modern times, and one in which Hunter’s can justly claim to have played a major part. Today the estate is run by Jane Hunter, herself a trained viticulturist, and she has a string of accolades for her excellent work, including an OBE and Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to viticulture. This is a classic Kiwi Sauvignon made now by Jane’s nephew James Macdonald, displaying passion fruit, crisp apple and citrus aromas. Delicious on its own and great with oysters, grilled white fish or spicy Thai dishes.
