White Wine

Spy Valley E Block Sauvignon Blanc 2022, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: From the Waihopai Valley, Marlborough wine region, Spy Valley E Block 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is a vegan-friendly SB produced from organically grown grapes by winemaker Wendy Stuckey. The E Block is home to only a few rows of Sauvignon Blanc in the estate vineyard in Waihopai Valley. Minerally on the nose and palate, the wine is dry with tropical fruit, lemon-lime zest, fine herbs, briny mineral and flinty flavours sleek and lithe on the palate. Very expressive and impressive, chill and enjoy it with grilled shellfish dishes. Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: salads topped with warm herbed goat cheese and sliced baby beets, grilled seafood dishes, fish tacos.
