2011 Massimo Sauvignon Blanc

Massimo’s bright acidity and citrus overtones exemplify New Zealand’s signature grape – grown in the most prestigious Sauvignon Blanc appellation – Marlborough – at the northern end of the South Island.

From the winemaker – “Lovely pale straw color with delicate aromas and flavors of guava, lemon grass and grapefruit. Light-bodied with a zesty acidity, the finish is pleasantly long and refreshing.”

Massimo’s crisp citrus ﬂavors are the ideal match with salads, seafood, light pasta, pork, fresh crab, oysters and soft goat cheese.
