About the wine
Super-refined Sauvignon bursting with character and elegance
- Rod's Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Hawke's Bay 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 make any comprises on style and without having to cut any corners during this wines carefully tuned journey from barrel to bottle. No 'Vavavoom' was harmed in the making of this wine... thank you!
- Marlborough may steal the limelight from critics but this beauty from Hawke's Bay 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!

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.

Absolutely gorgeous wine. I was lucky enough to try this at Robs estate in New Zealand a few years ago

It had been quite a while since I had a Sauvignon Blanc, simply because I have been trying other grapes. As soon as I sniffed this wine I was excited by the fabulous citrus aroma and realised it had been far too long!
A lovely vibrant golden colour glistened in the glass, which was very enticing - my taste buds were tingling with anticipation.
On first taste there was the familiar citrus (grapefruit) zingy taste that I associate with NZSB. However, tropical flavours of lychee and pineapple came through. I remembered how much I enjoy this grape, in fact all your wines!
Thank you Rod for this delicious wine which is drinking beautifully and also represents great value. I am sorry that you aren't on the Summer Tasting Tour this year, you will be missed.

That was then:
3* Too many sweet tropical fruit flavours and not enough crisp elderflower IMO compared to previous vintages, e.g 2018, which I liked much more - but seems I'm in the minority !
This is now:
4.5* Having had some Rod E Level 185 2020 SB recently I wanted to see how by comparison, this one has aged. Pleased to say with this my last bottle, this has retained its crispness and elderflower is back, If not bursting from the bottle. Good stuff!
