This wine consistently crosses my table at wine competitions where I’m tasked with writing reviews of the best wines sent forward by the judging panels. This new vintage is a worthy successor to an already-distinguished line, with fresh citrus, mild grass, bright stony minerality and a sexy texture that finishes with a zesty pop. For me, it expresses all of Marlborough’s best elements.
Duck Hunter, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2020
