About Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc
A vibrant and expressive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that leaps from the glass with classic New Zealand intensity. The aroma is immediately captivating — bursting with fresh-cut passionfruit, zesty lime, and crushed gooseberry, underpinned by a signature herbaceous lift of freshly mown grass and a whisper of white capsicum. On the palate, the wine is crisp and lively, with juicy tropical fruit flavours of guava and nectarine taking centre stage, balanced by a mouthwatering streak of citrus acidity. The texture is clean and refreshing, with excellent fruit purity and a well-defined mineral backbone that adds depth and focus. The finish is long, bright, and persistently citrusy, with a lingering saline minerality that keeps you reaching for another sip.
