Buy this one by the case! Mount Riley 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is dry and medium-bodied with sun kissed white-fleshed stone fruit, feijoada and citrus zest on the nose. Vibrant acidity to match. Pure expression of SB from this area with gooseberry, green herbs, grapefruit flavours and bell pepper on the palate. Chill and enjoy now.

From Marlborough, South Island Mount Riley 2018 Sauvignon Blanc is dry, medium-bodied with white-fleshed stone fruit, melon, feijoa and lime zest on the nose. Vibrant with gooseberry, green herbs and grapefruit flavours on the palate. Lots going on here. Chill and enjoy on its own or with fresh-steamed shrimp. This one is easy to go down in the summertime. Buy several. - Community Wine Reviews
