Ben and Rod have combined two totally different styles of winemaking to make this wine. And the result is just, wow.

Technically it’s French, but in the glass, it’s 100% turbo-charged Kiwi Sav, a tropical fruit-bowl of aromas and flavours. But then you get the colder-climate complexity and refinement of the French grapes kicking in, leaving your taste buds wondering what the heck just happened.

When picking and handling the fruit, Ben followed Rod’s instructions to the letter, to preserve a special compound in the grapes that gives Kiwi Sauvignon its famous fruity zing. Then Rod flew all the way to Ben’s place in the Languedoc, where they blended the wine together

This Naked classic is such an all-time favourite that since 2011, not a single vintage has rated below 93%. Every year, Angels come in their droves to snap up their batch of the Villebois’ flagship Sauvignon Blanc, so fill your boots before it all disappears in a puff of smoke.

It's a top-class French Sauvignon from the Loire Valley. Yet it's cheaper than most of its New World counterparts, and that's thanks to you and thousands of other Angels who took a chance on Joost when things got tough early in his winemaking career. This is his way of re-paying the favour. 

The beauty of this wine lies in its explosive fruit. All gooseberries and crisp green apples, that are offset by a fabulous minerality, making it the perfect pairing for a super-sized seafood platter.

Rod's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is bursting at the seams with tropical fruit flavour. Thanks to Angel funding he's managed to make it at a steal, without having to compromise on style or cut any corners during this wine's journey from barrel to bottle. No 'Vavavoom' was harmed in the making of this wine... thank you! 

Marlborough may steal the limelight when it comes to Kiwi Savs, but this Hawke's Bay beauty can stake an equally vibrant and intense claim to New Zealand's winemaking prowess.
