Greystone Waipara Sauvignon Blanc 2015 $22 ★★★★½
This is one seriously tropical, juicy, succulent sauvignon blanc from the nor-wester buffetted, limestone-laden slopes of North Canterbury. Deeply textural, powdery and mineral-edged, there’s a wildly tasty wave of nectarine, preserved lemon and crushed green herbs in every mouthful too. Winemaker Dom Maxwell is an evil genius and I’ll definitely be buying more of this wine. www.greystone.co.nz
