Paddy Borthwick Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Paddy Borthwick’s 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a distinctive Wairarapa expression, grown on the family’s Gladstone vineyards in the cool-climate foothills of the Tararua Ranges. Fermented in stainless steel with extended lees contact, the wine balances bright fruit purity with a gently textured palate.

Bouquet
Vivid aromas of lime, green apple and grapefruit peel, laced with elderflower, lemongrass and crushed herb.

Palate
Zesty and layered, the palate delivers a punch of citrus and passionfruit, underpinned by a mineral spine and soft herbal notes. Textural and balanced, with crisp acidity and a clean, dry finish.

Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled fish tacos, feta and mint courgette fritters, Thai green papaya salad or lemony roast chicken.
