Little Big Wolf Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 $32
So the messaging might be a teensy bit cryptic if you’re looking at the back label, and if you visit the website it’s a bit of a mission to find out exactly “who” is behind the brand. There are many mentions of ‘we’ and ‘our family’ and ‘us’ but to get to the nub of it all, here’s what you need to know. The winemaker Stacey Curry and her partner Shaun recently had a son, Cooper, who was diagnosed with Ushers Syndrome, a rare, incurable condition which progressively affects hearing and vision. There’s a blog about their journey on the website. The couple are passionate about their Huski dogs and the dogs have injected joy and playfulness into Cooper’s life. This is why Stacey named her wine after those generously protective canines and called it Little Big Wolf. The Sauvignon is lemon-laced, pricked with passionfruit, bruised basil, tropical tones, and a pleasantly juicy finish.
