Sauvy Sauvy everywhere but oh what to drink? I don’t often say this but what the heck. This week we have just finished the 2009 Sauvignon Blanc blending session and I reckon we here at Thornbury have put together the best Sauvignon Blanc we have ever made! more >

'08 Sauvignon all ready for action Our 08 Sauvignon Blanc is one of the earliest releases for Thornbury.
This year, we harvested it from vineyards in the Awatere, Waihopai and Wairau Valley vineyards.
My team worked day and night to get this wine ready for bottling. Thanks guys for your efforts - you were bloody amazing, as it was just 8 weeks ago that this was still on the vines!
So what should you expect from 08 Thornbury?
Take a deep sniff and soak in the vibrant, fresh blend of ripe gooseberry and tropical fruits. When you take a big mouthful, it’s nicely balance with good intensity of flavour, which whooshes around your mouth. There is also an interesting minerally character, which comes through from the different vineyard areas. And then when you swallow, there is a crisp, mouth-filling finish.
Yep - another mouth-watering wine.....
Check it out in a shop near you and enjoy!
