As the summer heat blasts on, I have continued to get requests for good, crisp and fruity New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc but I have refused to settle. I’m not in the habit of just rolling out a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc just to do it as you’ve probably noticed. It’s gonna take a lot to outperform our under $15/btl Frenzy Sauvignon Blanc which more than holds its weight.
But how about from a winery recently voted Wine Enthusiast ‘New World Winery of the Year’, and last year’s #11 ranked vineyard in the world according to 500 wine and travel experts? Not bad, right? At least it speaks volumes to the pedigree of the source. But the wine itself? Killer.
Five different expert reviewers have checked in on Craggy Range’s newest Sauvignon Blanc and awarded it a 91-point score or better. Five. And it’s pretty easy to see why.
While most New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs give you the killer tropical aromatics and flavors, they tend to be pretty one dimensional. But for New Zealand’s hottest winery of the last decade– the rich, complex, full-bodied expression of Sauvignon Blanc cut off Te Muna Road is elegant, crisp and refreshing – much more akin to village Sancerre than their Kiwi brethren.

92 Points (Smart Buy), Wine Spectator
Offers incredible depth and complexity, with fleshy notes of ripe Crenshaw melon, apricot and pineapple mingling with accents of candied ginger and lemon verbena on the finish, showing a touch of dried fennel. Drink now.
92 Points, James Suckling
Very vivid passion-fruit, lime, melon and herb aromas in a super fresh style. The palate has a bright, fleshy delivery of passion-fruit and lime flavors. Bold and succulent. Drink now. Screw cap.
92 Points, Vinous
This young Sauvignon is refined and suave in texture with a rich midpalate. It’s not a flamboyant Sauvignon; it offers subtle honeysuckle, a slice of green capsicum and integrated notes of passion fruit, but it’s certainly not an in-your-face style. Well balanced, long and precise with an almost salty finish. This early taste of the vintage promises much.
91 Points, Wine Advocate
The latest vintage of Craggy Range’s popular 2020 Te Muna Sauvignon Blanc offers grassy, lime-scented aromas backed by plenty of grapefruit, hints of nectarine and even the suggestion of fig or guava. It’s medium-bodied and subtly textural on the palate, finishing long, crisp and silky—probably the best vintage of this wine I can remember.

We’re nearing the end of what was a flawlessly crafted, high energy coastal Chardonnay release from one of California’s hottest spots. It’s still every bit as bright and refreshing as you could want and it hits with clean, pristine green apple fruits, pears and citrus notes with a hint of that limestone-influenced minerality. It’s a fantastic wine for all seasons, the perfect pair with mixed seafood, summer tomatoes, corn and freshly caught fish.
Year in, year out Château Turcaud produces one of the best white wine values in the world. It’s long been found on Michelin-starred wine lists in Paris and we’ve had it at the restaurant since Day 1. If you’ve ever tried this stunning, classic Bordeaux of Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, then you know why. The new 2022 vintage has arrived and it’s beaming with energy and pure stone fruits. This is a beauty as always.
2022 was an absolutely perfect vintage in this respect and unfortunately, I think it will be one of the last, if not THE last. As winegrower Jean-Marc Brocard reported to Decanter: “When we taste the wines, we feel that the balance between acidity and ripeness is very good. It’s a classic style of Chablis. In the end, even after such a heat during summertime, we stay in a cool year reference.” He also alluded to the ageability of the vintage, saying “Let’s give them time, we must let nature do its work.”
One of the best places to look for great Tuesday nighters are the sandy, limestone-laden hills of Asti. And within Asti, there is no white wine calling card that holds a candle to Moscato. Here it is king. Gianni Doglia naturally farms a tiny estate in the picturesque hamlet of Castagnole Lanze. His Moscato is the product of old vines, vinfied without oak to preserve its incredible fruit. This is serious, high-quality and hand-harvested Moscat, that oozes with sweet tropical fruits and a hint of minerality that stays on your tongue with each sip. This is also the perfect wine for anyone searching for a low alcohol option as well.
