Thornbury 2020 Sauvignon Blanc is super fresh and juicy on the palate with bright tropical fruit, fine herbs, grapefruit zest, creamy and balanced with vibrant lime-lemon zest acidity on the palate. Chill and enjoy now because it's so fresh. A perfect match for vegetarian dishes and oysters. Wine grapes were sourced from the Wairu and Awatere Valleys.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: seared scallops, pan-roasted shellfish or mussels.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
