👁 In the Glass:
Pale straw with green glints — brilliant, crisp, and luminous.

👃 On the Nose:
Intensely aromatic with a burst of passionfruit, gooseberry, and pink grapefruit, underscored by notes of fresh-cut grass, jalapeño, and a breeze of salty sea air. Subtle hints of lime zest and crushed herbs add a zippy, mouthwatering edge.

👅 On the Palate:
Bright and zesty, with a laser-like acidity and a core of citrus and tropical fruit. Flavours of green mango, grapefruit pith, and feijoa intertwine with mineral notes of wet stone and a touch of white pepper. The texture is crisp yet layered, leading to a long, flinty finish that lingers with refreshing precision.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Perfect with goat cheese salads, grilled asparagus, oysters, or Thai green curry — anything that celebrates freshness and zing.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Though delicious now in its youthful exuberance, this Sauvignon Blanc has the structure and minerality to develop beautifully over 3–5 years, gaining textural richness and subtle toasty nuances.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Wild Reserve is a pure expression of Marlborough’s cooler Awatere sub-region, where rugged coastal winds and river stones shape a wine of clarity, intensity, and finesse. It's Sauvignon Blanc at its most energetic and elegant, perfect for lovers of crisp whites with personality.
