Summer is over, but if you’re anything like me, you’re still holding on to it as much as possible—even if it’s just through what you’re drinking! This bottle is fresh, fruity, and has everything I need to be taken back to those long hot days when you could sit outside with a cold, crisp glass of wine! Hailing from the tip of the southern island in New Zealand, this wine is the perfect expression of a straightforward, no-fuss Sauvignon Blanc that you’ll want to sip on for days and days… perhaps even into the winter months. 100% Sauvignon Blanc in the bottle, and you get everything you want and desire. Fresh, juicy tropical fruit notes of mango and passion fruit, along with pronounced stone fruit flavors of peach, all take their turn showing up on your palate. The signs of a well-balanced and carefully crafted wine! Laced with just a hint of that signature bell pepper, the real beauty lies in the long finish this wine offers, which is helped in part by the refreshing acidity it contains. Typically, I always provide food pairings at the end of my write-ups, but honestly, just enjoy this one by itself—you’ll thank me later! ¡Salud! -J'Kalein Madison
