Waipara Hills Marlborough Cuvee
Coming to us from New Zealand’s idyllic South Island setting of North Canterbury is a sparkling version of what some may call Australia’s favourite wine…the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Here now is a Sauvignon Blanc with bubbles. You will be familiar with what’s in the bottle if it is Sav Blanc you fancy, and it certainly won’t disappoint, especially when matched the correct food.
