Stonewall, Marlborough (New Zealand) Sauvignon Blanc 2023 ($24, Lionstone International)

Jan 29, 2025

By Rich Cook
Wine label

Perhaps no wine announces its origin with more authority than Sauvignon Blanc, particularly when that origin is New Zealand. This wine screams its origins with G&G – gooseberry and grass – and does so in a completely convincing way without straying into what some writers politely call “feline aspects.” Satisfying from start to finish, with a nice grapefruit-y pop at the end. When the weather heats up, this will cool things off beautifully.
