Split Rock Sauvignon is as vibrant as they come, packed full of tropical fruit and citrus. It’s from the pioneering Seifried family estate, who set up in the super-sunny coastal region of Nelson in 1973 (way before most of Marlborough next door).
A beautiful Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc (with an equally beautiful label), vibrant with gooseberry, passionfruit, cut grass and tropical fruit. This is lovely.
