ABOUT THIS WINE
Read Critic Reviews

Greenhough call this a classic top of the south style with its Marlborough-like profound passion fruit, melon and citrus. We also feel its excellent terroir, further west in Nelson, brings a touch of European class, with freshly cut grass and crushed aromatic herbs. A proportion of this cuvée is fermented in barrel, which adds a savoury, spicy textural character to the expressive tropical fruit. Fresh as a mountain stream, but also with some weight, and very appealing, almost creamy, rich texture. Very fine sauvignon.

Critics reviews (previous vintages)
"Showing excellent ripeness and a light touch of silkiness on the palate, the 2019 River Garden Sauvignon Blanc includes a small portion (10%) of barrel-fermented fruit. Nectarine and melon notes are joined by citrus flavors in this medium-bodied wine, which finishes with refreshing acids and lingering hints of tangerine."
90/100 points, robertparker.com

"Light, fresh and green. Super-focused, crystalline. Really dynamic and VGV. Almost as good as a Riesling(!)"
16.5 points, Jancis Robinson

Mr.Wheeler Recommends: Treat yourself to fish and chips and make your takeaway treat special with this 90-point Sauvignon Blanc.
