The Sauvignon Blanc wine grapes for Squealing Pig (2017) are sourced from the driest and coolest vineyard sites in the Awatere Valley. Look for fresh grapefruit, zesty lemon and fresh herb flavours on the palate finishing long with vibrant acidity. Chill and enjoy with grilled seafood dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Craig Haynes - WSET3 FWS SWS IWS rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Impressive. Pronounced, enticing aromas of tangerine, melon, gooseberry, grass and hay - and faint petrol notes - introduced a dry, pleasantly textured medium bodied palate marked by subtle citrusy and melon flavours that held fast through an attractive, long finish. This sauvignon blanc’s dazzling pale silver colour added to the beautiful experience offered by this creation from New Zealand’s Marlborough appellation. Enjoy.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
