2024 Flannery Hill - Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough (750ml)

Flannery Hill sources its fruit from Marlborough, New Zealand's largest and most celebrated wine region, sitting at the northern tip of the South Island.

Marlborough's Sauvignon Blanc owes its character to a cool, dry maritime climate, free-draining soils, and a wide swing between warm days and cool nights, conditions that let the grapes ripen slowly while retaining bright acidity. This wine comes in at 13 percent alcohol with a pH of 3.1 and a touch of residual sugar, hallmarks of the region's fresh, vibrant style of winemaking.

The wine opens with aromas of passionfruit and orange blossom layered over citrus, leading into a palate of grapefruit, blackcurrant, and a hint of pineapple on the finish. The mid-palate is rich and textured, balanced by mouth-watering acidity that keeps the wine lively from first sip to last. It pairs especially well with fresh oysters.
