Is Wild Sauvignon a good wine?
Tasting profile
A bold, complex Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with ripe berry fruit, citrus zest of lemon, lime and grapefruit, and a savory edge of oak, vanilla, butter and minerality. Reviewers describe it as crisp and refreshing yet textured and long, with depth and character that sets it apart from typical NZ Sauvignon Blanc.

What reviewers say
“Just love this wine, it''s a little savoury/funky up front but then opens out into lemon/lime zest and mineral notes. Long, complex and textured.. Brilliant wine.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast, this is an alternative style of sauvignon blanc that is both intricate and textural. An inviting combination of fragrant patisserie-like aromas and fresh herbs – the sweet scent of lemon meringue and apricot friand seems to meld with a tarragon-like herbal quality and a hint of smokiness.
