You could have knocked us over with a feather when we were offered this deal - and we know it's the Sauvignon Blanc Deal of the Year by an absolute country mile. Two 95pt scores - including a gushing review from Bob Campbell MW - should tell you all you need to know, but it will be abundantly clear from your first taste that this ultra-premium release was not meant to sell for $15.99.
Crafted by a renowned vigneron and his elite winemaking team, this special wine may well redefine your expectations of what fine sauvignon blanc can be. It has graced the reserve lists of New Zealand's finest restaurants, and is offered for sale in premium, lay flat 6 packs. Read the tasting notes below for more sensory information - but if you're a sauvignon blanc fan looking for 'affordable brilliance', opportunity isn't just knocking, it's kicking the door down. Climb in.
Please note: This wine is being sold to you as a 'Mystery deal' to protect the producer's investment in this. When you order, the wine will be delivered to you under its normal label; all will be revealed when it lands at your door. Given the contractual nature of this offer we still can't tell you too much about it online. Click HERE to send a quick email to us, and we can tell you so much more on a 'one to one' basis. (That email address will only be monitored during normal business hours.)

Tasting Notes
Bob Campbell MW writes "Balancing sweetness and acidity to allow each to contribute requires a skilled artist/artisan. The winemaker who made the final blend in this wine deserves a medal. The sweetness is subliminal while the acidity offers energy and structure with great discretion." 95pts.
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Offering terrific fruit purity and intensity, the wine shows kiwifruit, feijoa, green rockmelon and lemon zest aromas. The fabulously flavoursome palate delivers excellent vibrancy together with fine texture and juicy acidity, finishing long and delectable. At its best: now to 2030." 95pts.
Huon Hooke writes "Light yellow hue with a pungent reductive aroma, of sulfides and pawpaw-like tropical fruit aromas. The wine is very delicate and light-bodied, borderline dilute, but crisp and clean at the finish. Dry finish with a slight grip. An attractive sauvignon blanc." 92pts.
Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Wine Reviews writes "Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is gentle and fresh, with aromas of green herbs, tropical fruit, citrus, tomato vines and white spice. Medium-bodied, aromas of guava and passionfruit entwined with lemon verbena, tomato vines and a touch of white pepper. The fruit is harmonious, gently integrated with crisp acidity, and flows with stony minerals to a sustained finish. Match with snapper crudo and steamed clams over the next 3 years." 93pts.
