There is no question you would pay more for this Gold medal Sauvignon if it were dressed in its usual posh winery label. But part of the deal was that we keep shtum as to its precise origins. Just enjoy one of New Zealand’s greatest while you can!

This is a dazzling Marlborough Sauvignon from a hugely acclaimed, award winning winery. But even top estates occasionally have a vat or two surplus to requirements, be that due to a bumper harvest, a cancelled order, or the need to accommodate a new vintage. Either way, our Buyer Dan springs into action when such an opportunity arises. Under its normal label this super Sauvignon sells for a hefty premium (this vintage has already won a Gold medal), so to protect that position, we’re sworn to secrecy. But if you’re a Kiwi wine fan, you’ll recognise, from the gooseberry and tropical fruit aromas to the lime, guava and passion fruit flavours, that there is an intensity and purity here that you only find among Marlborough’s elite Sauvignons.
