    Vavasour 2017 Sauvignon Blanc (Awatere Valley)

    Starting reductive and oniony, this wine takes its time to open, eventually revealing notes of dried herbs, nettles and green beans, with grapefruit and pineapple tones in the background. There's more fruit on the palate, which wraps around enamel-stripping acidity that's resolved by a soft texture on the finish.
