Pegasus Bay Sauvignon Semillon 2013 $30 ★★★★★
The Donaldson family in Waipara, North Canterbury, have been crafting this quirky version of sauvignon since AGES ago, and it’s now got something resembling a cult following for its incredibly complex, toasty, tropical and herbaceous flavours. A splash of semillon imparts a distinct ‘moist hay’ and roasted almond character to the lemony, passionfruit and gooseberry intensity of the sauvignon blanc, making it an incredible match for whole roasted fish with lemon and herbs. www.pegasusbay.com
