Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc, Nelson, New Zealand 2023
Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc, Nelson, New Zealand 2023
This is such a perky Sauvignon Blanc that I swear it goosed me when my back was turned. It’s like walking along the boardwalk while licking a lemon ice lolly and reading the saucy seaside postcards (“No, nurse! I said prick his boil!”). There are notes of white peach, pink citrus and a fair squeeze of passion fruit, which would make it the ideal partner for scallops seared in butter, vietnamese-style chilli prawns or miso cod. 12% alc. Drink now-2027.
Press review:
James Suckling: “Spicy and vivid character with green fruit, currant leaves and asparagus. Medium-bodied, crisp and chalky with bright acidity. Crunchy and mouthwatering.” 90 points
