THE PASS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023

Gold Medal – New Zealand International Wine Show 2023

Sauvignon Blanc coming Marlborough's 2023 vintage reminds us why the world has fallen in love with this intensely aromatic varietal. A 'Classic' vintage that offers a lot for Sauvignon Blanc lovers. 

Named after the Redwood Pass that connects Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys, The Pass Sauvignon Blanc is part of the Foley Wine Group portfolio (Mt. Difficulty, Roaring Meg, Te Kairanga, Vavasour, Martinborough Vineyards and more) which means it can draw fruit from some excellent vineyards and winemaking facilities to produce a wine that belies its price point. Best Buy Cuisine, 5 Star reviews and a Gold Medal at the 2023 NZIWS is proof of the quality on offer here!

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"It's beautifully aromatic and inviting on the nose with feijoa, green apple, lemon peel and sweet basil aromas, followed by a wonderfully expressed palate offering terrific fruit power and persistency. Immediately appealing and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2025."

4 Stars & Best Buy Cuisine Sauvignon Blanc Tasting, December 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Intense and pungent on the nose with lots of green herbs set against white peaches and lime citrus. The palate is well weighted and structured with a clean fruit, lovely minerality and a salivatingly saline finish."
