The North end of New Zealand's South Island is a magical place for Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. And as we're into the hottest part of the year here, a light and refreshing Sauvignon Blanc is a great choice for the lighter summer foods we're now enjoying. In New Zealand, they've found a balance between the centuries-old warrior culture and today's viticulture.
Symbolizing the timeless tradition of sharing wine between good friends and family, the ‘Pikorua’ represented on our label is a Maori eternity icon traditionally given as an offering of friendship. It resembles two ('rua’) intertwined pikopiko ferns – the pale green new-growth frond that thrives in shady, damp areas of New Zealand’s woods. The ferns represent two people travelling their own path of life but always coming back together because of their strong bond.
Pikorua Sauvignon Blanc delivers the hallmarks of the now world-famous Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Refreshingly crisp, it delivers bright tropical fruits with a touch of gooseberry and lightly herbal notes. We recommend enjoying Pikorua Sauvignon Blanc with good friends and family, either on its own or with lighter flavored dishes, oysters, poultry or spicy, Asian-influenced meals.
