Main Divide Sauvignon Blanc captures the quintessence of New Zealand's terroir, making it an ideal companion for seafood dishes or as an aperitif.

Peppered beneath this are hints of gooseberry, elderflower, green capsicum, and crushed thyme. The palate is well weighted with a pleasing richness, complimented by a juicy, zesty zing in the mouth.
