Whitehaven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 Review
Sue and Greg White went to Marlborough to start their wine journey over 20 years ago, just as the now-renowned wine region was gaining its reputation. After Sue's husband passed in 2007, she stepped up to lead the family business and built Whitehaven as the well-known brand it is today. This Sauvignon Blanc represents the classic New Zealand style, with lemon zest, grapefruit, and juicy peach notes. It's a great go-to wine for those who love Marlborough's fruit-forward profile.
