Tasting notes:
The King's Favour Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a lively and vibrant expression from the Waihopai Valley, with punchy aromas of tropical fruits and a hint of blackcurrant leaf. The textured palate bursts with citrus and white peach flavors, leading to a juicy and persistent finish.

"This wine has delicious depth of flavour with rich, fruity appeal, but a totally dry taste carrying citrus, ripe melon and fresh green herb aromas. It delivers outstanding concentration and a next-level taste, without the price tag to match. A fabulous wine for drinking now and over the next two years."

"Pungent, fresh and bright, varietal with scents of white fleshed fruits from apple to pear then Meyer lemon to peach. There’s a mix of lees and sweet basil, wet stone and peach. On the palate a satin textured touch evolves into flavours of citrus and apple then some tropical fruits and wet stone mineral qualities. Balanced, well made, dry and ready with persistent flavours and textures. Best drinking from 2023 through end of summer 2025."
