Love this fresh, mouth-watering Sauvignon Blanc with a smattering of Semillon. Medium-bodied, dry with grapefruit, fresh stone fruit and smoky flavours finishing with a flinty minerality on the palate. Pair with grilled Mahi mahi.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: smoked salmon, smoked whitefish, pan-fried pan fish.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
