Rod Easthope Martinborough Sauvignon Blanc 2015
About the wine
A million miles away from your typical grocery store Sauvignon Blanc.
- This super-refined Sauvignon comes from Martinborough - a small region perched on the bottom tip of New Zealand's North Island. We gave Rod carte blanche to make a spectacular wine that delivers insane value for money.
- Boy has he delivered. This super-refined Sauvignon is bursting with character and elegance - a million miles away from your typical grocery store Sauvignon Blanc.
- If you want a crisp white wine that looks expensive, tastes expensive, but isn't expensive... then this is the one for you. And because you funded it - it's Angel exclusive.
Best before
Drink now, or over the next two years. Some increased texture and rounder fruit flavors may emerge with time.
Serving advice
Twist and pour! Start well-chilled (always better to start too cold than too warm). The wine changes, opening up as it aerates and warms in the glass.
Food match
It doesn't actually need food - it is a great aperitif wine. White wine shellfish-based dishes, like steamed mussels, also go perfectly, as do mature, hard cheeses.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Rod Easthope
- Rod left his full-time post as Chief Winemaker at Craggy Range, New Zealand's most iconic winery, to set-up-shop alone and make an exclusive range of wines just for us, using the BEST grapes that Hawke's Bay, Marlborough and Central Otago have to offer.
- Rod is an immense talent, whose wines are dripping in medals, rave journalist reviews and oodles of Parker Points - and he can now strike out on his own thanks to Angel funding and backing!
- This is a huge win because Rod is at the pinnacle of New Zealand winemaking. Your tastebuds are in for an incredible treat.
