"This is the original Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. We were first to recognize Marlborough’s potential for exceptional Sauvignon Blanc, planting the varietal on Brancott Vineyard. Aromas of ripe lemongrass and tropical rock melon are immediately apparent, allied with a range of sweet tropical top notes. Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a fruit-driven wine crafted in a style that epitomizes the character and flavor of the Marlborough region. It justly deserves its international reputation for quality and consistency."
