Cause & Effect Sauvignon Blanc 2016
About the wine
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the genius behind New Zealand's most famous wines
- No winemaking tricks here... armed with your funding, I was able to select the very best damn fruit I've ever seen, harvested in the cool of the night and gently pressed to preserve those classic Sauvignon Blanc characters.
- The result is elegant yet complex. Powerful yet poised. An explosion of ripe tropical fruit including guava, blackcurrant, lime zest and pink grapefruit. All beautifully wrapped in that classic Marlborough zing which makes it so refreshingly drinkable.
- It's a single vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc sourced from one of the most highly sought after blocks in the region. I reckon it's the best Sauvignon Blanc I've made in my 15 year career. And I've made some crackers!

Food match
Whilst seafood has a natural affinity with NZ Sauvignon Blanc, I have really been enjoying this wine with goats cheese. Anything with goats cheese and fresh herbs, this wine just sings.
Also, skewers of watermelon and grilled haloumi......
