Starborough Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough

Bright, approachable, and refreshing, Starborough Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand is like wind-whipped seagrass on a warm summer day. It’s the perfect pairing for a casual catch-up and a quick bite. The tropical notes stand out in this Sauv Blanc: passion fruit on the tongue, starfruit with a hint of pineapple guava on the nose. The taste also has grapefruit and gooseberry to give it a faint bitter note in the background. While it stood out a bit at first, it grew on me immediately—the overall flavor is put together well. It closes with green bell pepper and flint minerality.
