Tasting Notes:

The Koromiko Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc opens with an enticing bouquet of aromas. Vibrant notes of gooseberry and passionfruit take centre stage, interwoven with hints of citrus zest, herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc character, and subtle hints of tropical fruits like guava and pineapple.

On the palate, the wine explodes with freshness. The lively acidity, a hallmark of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, cuts through the juicy fruit flavours, leaving a clean and invigorating finish. The gooseberry and passionfruit notes from the nose are complemented by touches of grapefruit and lime, creating a complex and layered flavour profile. The subtle tropical hints linger on the finish, adding a touch of sweetness that perfectly complements the wine's crisp acidity.

Food Pairing:

Koromiko Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc's versatility makes it a fantastic food pairing wine. Its vibrant acidity and zesty flavours make it a natural companion to a wide range of dishes. Here are some perfect food matches to elevate your dining experience:

• Seafood: This wine shines alongside all things from the sea. Pair it with fresh oysters, clams, mussels, or a light fish dish like sea bass or lemon sole. The wine's acidity cuts through the richness of seafood, cleansing the palate and enhancing the natural flavours.
• Salads: Salads bursting with fresh ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and feta cheese are a delightful match for Koromiko Sauvignon Blanc. The wine's zippy character complements the fresh flavours of the salad, while the creamy texture of the feta cheese adds a touch of richness that balances the wine's acidity.
• Goats' Cheese:  The tangy flavour profile of goats' cheese finds a beautiful partner in Koromiko Sauvignon Blanc. The wine's acidity cuts through the creaminess of the cheese, creating a delightful harmony of flavours. Serve this pairing with crusty bread or crackers for a simple yet sophisticated appetizer.
• Spicy Food:  Koromiko Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent choice for taming the heat of spicy dishes. The wine's acidity helps to cool the palate and complements the warming spices, creating a well-rounded flavour experience. Enjoy it with Thai curries, Vietnamese pho, or Indian curries.
• Sushi and Sashimi: The delicate flavours of fresh sushi and sashimi are perfectly complemented by Koromiko Sauvignon Blanc. The wine's clean and refreshing character allows the subtle nuances of the fish to shine through, creating a truly harmonious pairing.

Beyond the Bottle:

The Koromiko Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc story begins in the sun-drenched vineyards of New Zealand's Marlborough region. Renowned for its ideal climate and perfect growing conditions for Sauvignon Blanc grapes, Marlborough produces wines known for their vibrant acidity, expressive fruit flavours, and refreshing style.

Koromiko, the Māori name for the native New Zealand flax plant, embodies the spirit of this wine. Just as the flax thrives in the region's diverse conditions, so too does the Sauvignon Blanc grape.
