Kumeu River
Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Marlborough, New Zealand
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Kumeu River makes some of NZ’s best white wines and their Sauvignon, unlike their other wines, comes from Marlborough and is aromatic, crisp and drier on the palate than most. Crisp, green flavours without the over-the-top tropicality. Flavour-filled and restrained, this shows prime Marlborough fruit at its best.

Good pale color. Tangerine and spice on the nose and palate. Brisk, focused and clean but not hard; the light but intense flavors are perked up by a peppery nuance...
87, Wine Enthusiast
This Sauvignon Blanc is a distinctively typical Marlborough Sauvignon that also displays a Kumeu River stylistic charm. The aroma is a
pungent and zingy expression of the best of Marlborough with a palate that has concentrated fruit flavor, with the rich texture and balanced acidity. A fresh, fruit-forward style, this wine offers bold passion fruit and gooseberry flavors with just a hint of nectarine. It’s not terribly complex, but the refreshing flavors linger nicely on the finish.
