New Zealand. Mouth-watering Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe tropical fruit flavours and a twist of crisp citrus.

Place the bottle of V Sauvignon Blanc in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving. If short on time, submerge the bottle in an ice and water mix for 20–30 minutes to achieve a serving temperature of about 8–10°C (46–50°F).

Chill the bottle

Set out 1 white wine glass per guest and, if possible, chill glasses briefly by placing them in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes or by rinsing with cold water and letting them drain.

Prepare glassware

Using a waiter’s corkscrew or wine opener, remove the foil and cork cleanly. Wipe the bottle lip with a clean cloth or paper towel to remove any cork dust or residue.

Open the bottle

For a slightly more aromatic presentation, pour the wine into a clean carafe and allow it to sit for 5–10 minutes. This will let the ripe tropical fruit and citrus aromas lift without needing prolonged aeration.

Decant or use a carafe (optional)

Pour about 120–150 ml (4–5 fl oz) per glass, filling to roughly one-third to allow room to swirl and concentrate aromas. Garnish with a slice of lemon or lime on the rim if desired.

Serve

If you prefer the wine extra chilled, place 1 cup of ice in a small bowl or bucket and rest the base of the bottle in it for 5–10 minutes before serving. Do not pour ice directly into the wine glass (to avoid diluting flavors).

Alternative: very chilled on ice

When tasting, note the upfront tropical fruit notes—like passionfruit and ripe melon—balanced by a crisp twist of citrus such as lime or grapefruit. This wine pairs well with shellfish (oysters, prawns), soft goat cheese, light green salads with citrus dressing, and mildly spicy Asian dishes.

To highlight the wine’s characteristics at a tasting: smell first to capture the aromatic intensity, take a small sip and let it coat the palate to notice acidity and fruit balance, then finish to observe lingering citrus zest.
