Chosen by Majestic Sauvignon Blanc 2023, Marlborough

Majestic wine buyer Matthew Fowkes was instantly smitten with this excellent-quality Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a textbook crisp and zesty number, straight from the region that really put the grape on the map: Marlborough, New Zealand. Made by a champion winemaker who’s produced some of the area’s most iconic brands, the bottling uses grapes from the Waihopai Valley – an ancient riverbed of alluvial soils coupled with a unique climate to make astounding Sauvignon. Characteristic notes of gooseberry, passionfruit and citrus come to the forefront with every sip. An ideal match for goat’s cheese, asparagus or Asian-style seafood dishes.
