White Wine

Spy Valley Envoy Sauvignon Blanc 2016, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: From Johnson Vineyard, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough wine region, Spy Valley Envoy 2016 Sauvignon Blanc is dry, medium-bodied and complex with layers of white-fleshed stone fruit, ginger, fine herb and lemon-lime zest flavours. Grapes were barrel-fermented, and the wine was matured on its lees for 11 months in oak barrel giving this delish SB, creamy, rounded with flinty mineral notes long and fresh on the palate. Fabulous texture. Drinking beautifully now to 2026. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: fresh tomato and basil salad, pan-fried freshwater fish, apple stuffed chicken breast, grilled prawns. Drink: 2023 - 2025 429308 13.5% XD 750 mL $39.95 Score: 92/100. August 2023. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
