From the first pour, there is no doubt that this incredibly aromatic wine is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The 2021 Chasing Venus has beautiful aromas of grapefruit, lychee, and lime. The fresh flavors of guava, lemongrass, mango, and citrus hang on the palate and linger in the finish. There is the expected snap of bright acidity upfront and then the fruit flavors broaden into a rich texture. Crisp, clean, and expansive all at once. This wine is delicious on its own; it also pairs well with fresh oysters, mussels in a buttery sauce or a simple roast chicken. Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown on small family farms in the acclaimed Marlborough appellation where the free-draining alluvial soils and the long, cool growing season enhance the varietal citrus aromas and tropical fruit flavors.
