OTU 2024 Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough $16

Why I chose it:

- I like Sauvignon, particularly when we get some warmer weather.

- First of the excellent 2024 vintage.

- Best of the 2024 vintage wines so far.

- Don’t overlook the discounted 2023 vintage wines.

What does it taste like?

This early release wine confirms the general belief that 2024 was a cracker of a vintage; a crisp, dry white with lime zest and passion fruit flavours, with appealing purity.

Why it’s a bargain:

Classic Marlborough sauvignon at a terrific price.

Where can you buy it?      

Glengarry Wines, Auckland: $15.99 
The Good Wine Co, Auckland: $16.99 
Supermarkets (check the vintage)

Food match? 

Great with seafood, I like it with pan-fried scallops.

Will it keep?

Fresh is best – good for a couple of years, perhaps more.
