Enjoy Sauv Blanc Your Way

Unleash the flavour of NZ Sauvignon Blanc this Summer

Hot weather and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc are the ultimate pairing—like sunshine and sandy toes or laughter and late-night playlists. Whether you’re lounging on the deck, hosting a backyard party, or soaking up the summer vibes at the beach, let your glass sparkle with the bold, crisp zesti-ness of your favourite Sauv Blanc - enjoyed your way.

Experiment with Fresh Flavours

Think mint leaves, lime wedges, or even a splash of elderflower syrup. Add some crushed ice, a twist of citrus, or a drizzle of honey for that irresistible touch. Feeling adventurous? Why not toss in some tropical fruits like passionfruit or mango for a bold, juicy kick?

Dress it up in a crystal tumbler or keep it casual with a mason jar. Let the presentation match the energy of the moment.
