Steve Bird Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc "The Whanau Reserve" 2023

Bright with a pale green hue at the center. The nose is clean with lifted florals of elderflower, tropical notes of green mango, and lime melded with herbaceous nuances of fresh cut grass. The palate is fresh with lovely concentration of citrus and green mango, fragrant florals, and fresh herbs. The wine is succulent with a subtle wet stone mineral texture. The acid is crisp and fresh, leaving a clean and persistent impression. This is a beautiful New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with a classic Marlborough pedigree.
