The Cru Select New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is a truly special wine and one we only bring in when we can secure a limited allocation. This is one of the most expressive and sought-after white wine styles in the world, and in the Cru Select series it reaches an exceptional level of intensity, purity, and balance. If you love Sauvignon Blanc, this is one of those rare opportunities to make something genuinely standout.
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is famous for its unmistakable freshness and aromatic lift. This wine bursts with vibrant flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry, lime, and grapefruit, layered with subtle herbal notes and a bright, mouthwatering acidity. What sets the Cru Select version apart is its depth and texture. It has remarkable concentration while remaining crisp and refreshing, with a long, clean finish that keeps you reaching for another glass.
This is a wine that shines at the table. It is a classic pairing for fresh seafood like oysters, prawns, scallops, and halibut, and it is outstanding with sushi and sashimi. Goat cheese, feta, and soft fresh cheeses are natural matches, as are dishes with herbs, citrus, or green vegetables. It also pairs beautifully with Thai and Vietnamese cuisine, especially dishes with lime, cilantro, and gentle heat. On a warm evening, it is equally satisfying enjoyed on its own, chilled and vibrant.
Because this wine is only available in limited quantities, it tends to sell out quickly. For many customers, it becomes a once-a-year favourite and one of the highlights of their cellar. If you are looking for one of the nicest white wines available in any series, this Cru Select New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc easily earns its reputation.
