Tasting Notes: The wine is renowned for its vibrant tropical fruit aromas and flavors.

Zesty citrus elements, particularly lime, grapefruit, and lemon, are prominent. These flavors contribute to the wine’s refreshing and crisp profile.

The Estate: Paterson’s Grove is a winery located in the Marlborough region of New Zealand, an area globally recognized for its outstanding Sauvignon Blanc.
