From Marlborough, South Island, Thornbury 2021 Sauvignon Blanc is vibrant, fresh and mouth-watering with tropical fruit, citrus zest, herbal, grassy mineral notes tangy and lingering on the palate. Chill and enjoy on its own or with grilled seafood dishes.

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

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Tasted along side the 2022 (in 2023), this Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is bright and fresh showing a lot of the typical characteristics, including lime, gooseberry, passion fruit, green herbs and fresh cut grass along with a touch of minerality. This wine also has great acidty balancing with richer fruit notes, but overall a little more soft, with a touch more of the green herbal flavours coming through. This wine also nicely balances the fruit and acidity, as well as the rounded fruit notes and the more herbal flavours. Enjoy with any fresh seafood.

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.
