First Pick Low Cl Sauvignon Blanc

First Pick Low Cl Sauvignon Blanc shows bright citrus flavours with lemon zest, grapefruit, and subtle herbaceous notes. The palate is crisp and lean with zesty acidity and clean minerality. The finish is refreshing with lingering citrus character that cleanses the palate.

This wine is made in the style of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, the variety that put Kiwi wine on the international map in the 1980s. Sauvignon Blanc originated in Bordeaux, France, but New Zealand's cool climate regions produce distinctively aromatic and vibrant expressions. The variety is known for high acidity, low sugar levels, and pronounced citrus and herbaceous notes.

First Pick Low Cl Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh seafood, particularly oysters, sushi, and sashimi. The wine's crisp acidity and citrus notes complement Asian dishes like Pad Thai, Vietnamese spring rolls, and lightly spiced Thai curries. It also works well with goat cheese salads and light pasta dishes where its refreshing character can shine.

This Sauvignon Blanc excels with dishes featuring fresh herbs, citrus dressings, and bright, clean flavours. Try it with steamed dumplings, chicken or prawn Pad Thai, or grilled fish with lemon. The wine's acidity cuts through richer textures while its herbaceous notes echo ingredients like coriander, basil, and lime commonly found in Asian cuisine.

Serve First Pick Low Cl Sauvignon Blanc well chilled at 7-9°C to showcase its aromatic intensity and crisp acidity. Use a white wine glass with a narrow aperture to concentrate the citrus and herbaceous aromas while directing the wine away from the sides of your tongue where acidity is most pronounced. No decanting is necessary for this fresh, vibrant style.
