Otto's Constant Dream Sauvignon Blanc 2021 Review

To say Marlborough Savvy B has oversaturated the market is an understatement. Looking at this section in a wine shop can be frustrating and may crack your brain a bit as you just grab the coolest label and hope it’s awesome. What you want is that old school vibe from when these wines first hit the market. These guys, Hunter Estate, are part of the original intrepid winemakers doing work on the southern island. This wine right here is one of the best bets on the shelf. It has tons of that bell pepper you seek in Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but is balanced by a good core of fruit. The acidity is active, but not overpowering, and keeps it all in balance. This is the Marlborough you're looking for.
