Description
TOP 100 WINE OF THE YEAR 2024 # 41 : Whitehaven in Marlborough, New Zealand, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2019, founded by the White family. Founder Sue White professes, ‘the power of our product is in its purity – its Marlborough wine to the last grape. Our customers know that every vintage they will be getting a consistently high standard because we value our reputation as a premium label.’
Look for a pale lemon color with a green hue and bright clarity. Lifted passionfruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, and peach fruit flavors, with complexing hints of jalapeno, nettle, boxwood and blackcurrant leaf follow. A full flavored, medium bodied wine, with regionally typical blackcurrant and gooseberry flavors that linger on the dry, clean finish. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to summer salads, poultry and shellfish, such as Marlborough’s famous green-shell mussels. Also try it with lobster and white fish.
