Ataahua Sauvignon Blanc 2024

🌎 Wine Region: Waipara Valley, North Canterbury, New Zealand 🍇 Grape: Sauvignon Blanc 🍷 Tasting Notes: Bright and vibrantly fruity, with aromas of green rockmelon, grapefruit, Gala apple and ripe gooseberry, lifted by fresh lemon zest and herbaceous notes. The palate is succulent and fine-textured, with beautifully pitched acidity carrying through to a crisp, dry finish. Machine harvested with gentle technology, destemmed and slow-pressed, then cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fresh varietal character. 🍽️ Food Pairing: Freshly cooked seafood, asparagus and vegetarian dishes. Best served lightly chilled. 🏆 Awards: 93 points / 5 stars – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (Aug 2026): "Brightly fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, grapefruit, Gala apple, and herbaceous aromas. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity, a fine texture, and beautifully pitched acidity, making it flavoursome and fabulously drinkable." At its best: now to 2028.
