2022 Sauvignon Blanc Gimblett Gravels, C J Pask, Hawke's Bay

Pask's sauvignon leaps out of the glass with aromas of gooseberry, greengage and a faint grassy note. This green fruit character continues to delight on the palate, finished with a zippy citrus twist.

"The Kiwis have only grown Sauvignon Blanc since 1974 and the SBs of Marlborough in particular are celebrated the world over. The variety thrives elsewhere, though, and the 2019 C.J. Pask Sauvignon Blanc from the Gimblett Gravels in Hawkes Bay is faultless. Crisp, clean and citrusy, it has typical gooseberry and cut grass notes but is a touch more restrained and less tropical than one might expect. As a result its deliciously refreshing and makes a cracking 6 p.m. pipe-opener."
