The 2019 Yealands Sauvignon Blanc is a spot-on example of what this grape variety produces in Marlborough. This wine is fresh, brisk, and satisfying. Its lively aromas and flavors of ripe fruit, dried herbs, and light chalkiness should pair well with a dozen raw oysters and a sprinkling of tart citrus.

Best Buy. A perfume of fresh passionfruit, grapefruit and lime is backed by fresh-cut grass nuances in this classic New Zealand Sauvignon. The balanced palate is fresh and fruity with prickly, tingly acidity and an herbal, green grass finish. Drink chilled water-side.

Shows apple, lemon and grapefruit flavors that have hints of toasted herbs and notes of crushed rock on a light frame, with juicy acidity. Gains momentum on the finish, which reveals generous lemongrass details. Drink now. 280,000 cases made, 29,000 cases imported.
