Domain Road Bannockburn Central Otago Sauvignon Blanc 2022 $24

This is, I think, the 8th vintage of Domain Road sauvignon that I’ve tasted and its fair to say that it’s morphing into its own style and groove. Showing heightened jalapeno, lemongrass, basil, preserved lemon and lime layers, it’s definitely one for the herbaceously inclined. Owners Graeme and Gillian Crosbie have done a superb job of turning an old apricot orchard into a vineyard with va-voom and their signature sauvignon, with its grassy, mineral-driven dryness is good to go. Especially with lemon and caper-baked snapper.
