Tai Tira Sauvignon Blanc 2023
DESCRIPTION
Tai Tira, ‘Sea Traveller’ in Māori, is fitting for this vineyard. New Zealand is a land of shared journeys and the winemakers aim to share their wine with the rest of the world. Tai Tira’s terroir is fed by the pristine waters of the Waihopai and Wairau Valleys, located on the South Island. This Sauvignon Blanc took its time to ripen, but with patience comes perfection. This wine delivers on all fronts. Freshly picked white flesh fruits, lime and elderflower give you a taste of sweet summer. Meanwhile, the palate is a breeze, with its crisp minerality. A perfect wine for a tomato tart, shellfish, or a fresh salad with goat cheese.
région
Marlborough
New Zealand
Marlborough is by far New Zealand’s most important wine region. Located at the northeastern tip of the South Island, this dry, sunny region is home to over 500 wineries and produces nearly 75% of New Zealand’s wine. Warm days, cool nights, and well-drained alluvial soils create ideal conditions for aromatic wines with crisp acidity.
It is here that the Marlborough style of Sauvignon Blanc was born, a style that has taken the world by storm: vibrant, intensely fruity, with herbal notes and a saline minerality. While Sauvignon Blanc dominates, Marlborough also produces excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, cementing its reputation as New Zealand’s international wine showcase.

I really enjoyed this wine, which pairs very well with fish, especially haddock.
