Natalie's Score: 92/100

From the Marlborough wine region, Wither Hills (2023) Sauvignon Blanc is a popular SB and great value as well at $20. Produced from sustainably-grown grapes, the wine is dry, medium-bodied, elegant and fragrant with yellow apple, gooseberry, lime zest, fine herb, fresh dill and tropical fruit notes with a mouth-wateringly long white grapefruit finish on the palate. So crisp and expressive, chill and enjoy it with fresh salads, lemon-butter sauteed halibut steaks or grilled chicken dishes.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: Thai green curry fish, apple stuffed chicken breast, steamed mussels, herbed couscous salad.
