Sauvignon blanc from Marlborough’s Waihopai Valley has its own personality, and when it’s given Sam Weaver’s organic, biodynamic treatment at Churton, you can expect something seriously special. Soft basil, lime leaf, sweet pea and elderflower all jostle for attention on the nose, while the palate has an almost creamy, tropical character which comes from the 10 months it spends on lees before bottling. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I recommend you immediately whip up some asparagus and mint risotto.
