No Paddle Required

Tastes like: Gooseberry. Tropical. Passionfruit. Lychee. Herbaceous. Fresh. 

Anyone seeking mind-blowingly good value New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc will do well to head South from Marlborough and to explore the region of North Canterbury, Waipara.

Wines here are a little less grassy and are unashamedly tropical, with an abundance of passionfruit and tangy gooseberry.

This is a superbly made wine from award winning producer Mount Brown who work to make their wines with a love for the land and ensuring their activities are as sustainable as possible.

The name comes from the ancient dry river bed on which the wines now grow on - an ideal and sheltered spot for their vines to thrive in.

With just a hint of sweetness, Wild River goes brilliantly with fish dishes and Asian food but also makes for the ideal aperitif or simply to glug on while catching up with pals.
