New Zealand is most famous on the world wine stage for Sauvignon Blanc, and with good reason. But here at Moore Wilson's we hunt out the best of all the white varieties from local producers, and spice it up with some international contenders from excellent wineries.

A lifted and intense bouquet of baking spice, apple and mandarin. The saline infused palate is bright, racy and focused.
