Massey Dacta Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, 2019

Sauvignon Blanc is synonymous with New Zealand, especially from the region of Marlborough in the top of the South Island. The variety represents over 60% of the nation’s plantings. Marlborough has low seasonal rainfall, lots of sunlight and a large shift in temperature between day and night – all of which go to producing flavoursome grapes. Ben’s 2019 Massey Dacta Sauvignon Blanc is very pale in colour with appealing fruit aromas of fresh apples, pear drops, gooseberries and a hint of flintiness in the background. Soft and supple on the palate, it is refreshing and easy drinking, with flavours of passionfruit, lime and sour green apples.
