Cuvar Guardians Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023

93 POINTS: Cam Douglas MS

"A classic style of SB with a bold and punchy bouquet filled with scents of tropical fruits and fresh basil, sage and jalapeno. Crisp, dry, salivating and new with fruit flavours of citrus and passion fruit, green mango and red apple. There’s no misting the punch of acidity and power of the fruit framed by stone and herbs. "

This wine reminds Michelle (Cuvar's Chief Winemaker) of walking barefoot on a chamomile lawn as the flower aromas waft up. She goes on to describe the complimenting nettle and citrus notes as a very subtle scent, followed by the aromas like the beginnings of a roux sauce – toasted butter and flour.  

Michelle creates some of this magic from fermenting a portion in very seasoned oak barriques and lees maturation. Overall, a delightful expression of nature’s harmony....with a little dressing up from the winemaking in every sip.
