OTU 2024 Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough $16 

Why I chose it: 

- I like Sauvignon, particularly when we get some warmer weather. 

- First of the excellent 2024 vintage. 

- Best of the 2024 vintage wines so far. 

- Don’t overlook the discounted 2023 vintage wines. 

What does it taste like? 

This early release wine confirms the general belief that 2024 was a cracker of a vintage; a crisp, dry white with lime zest and passion fruit flavours, with appealing purity. 

Why it’s a bargain: 

Classic Marlborough sauvignon at a terrific price. 

Where can you buy it?       

Glengarry Wines, Auckland: $15.99  
The Good Wine Co, Auckland: $16.99  
Supermarkets (check the vintage) 

Food match? 

Great with seafood, I like it with pan-fried scallops. 

Will it keep? 

Fresh is best – good for a couple of years, perhaps more.
