Marlborough is now widely regarded as the benchmark for Sauvignon Blanc throughout the world. If you can get away from the over hyped and over priced Cloudy Bay and look just down the road you will come across this little beauty. It has fantastic gooseberry and blackcurrant leaf flavours with a crisp acidic backbone that would go supperbly with a big bowl of Havelock green lip mussels. We picked ours up from Sainsburys for £10.http://www.jacksonestate.co.nz
