About the wine
Super-refined Sauvignon bursting with character and elegance
-
Rod's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc is bursting at the seams with tropical fruit flavour. Thanks to Angel funding he's managed to make it at a steal, without having to compromise on style or cut any corners during this wine's journey from barrel to bottle. No 'Vavavoom' was harmed in the making of this wine... thank you!
-
Marlborough may steal the limelight when it comes to Kiwi Savs, but this Hawke's Bay beauty can stake an equally vibrant and intense claim to New Zealand's winemaking prowess.
- Bright citrus, passion fruit, elderflower and lemongrass all wrapped up with a zippy freshness that will have you running to stock up the wine rack (the fridge, your friends wine rack... the list goes on) to the brim with this little number!
Best before
Drink now or over the next two years.
Serving advice
Just crack it open and pour! Start well chilled and enjoy the changes in the wine while it warms and aerates in the glass.
Food match
A goats cheese salad is a great combo with this! Freshly shucked oysters with lemon also.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod downed tools at one of New Zealand's most iconic wineries, to set-up-shop alone, and luckily for us, he knows the whereabouts of the very best grapes that Hawke's Bay and Central Otago have to offer.
- He has rave reviews from journalists, wines dripping in medals and oodles of Parker Points under his belt, and thanks to Angel funding and backing, he's now making wines exclusively for you.
- Using his prize fund from being crowned your Winemaker of the Year 2014, Rod was able to add a stunning Gisborne Chardonnay to his range. Years on and his wines never fail to impress - they don’t call him Rod the God for nothing.

All the fruit and freshness one could want - particularly good with a few nibbles.

I opened this on a miserable Wednesday evening after a grotty work day and it really lifted my mood. Delicious wine which is I think a little richer and fuller in flavour for having been kept.... It is great when first bought but to my mind a couple of years has aged it into a real treat of a glass! I am hoping I have another tucked away - fingers crossed.
UPDATE March 2024 - just opened my last bottle of this vintage - still totally delicious!
