Notes: The 2013 Konrad Sauvignon Blanc is an example of the depth of the variety evolving in the Marlborough region. Full of punchy characteristic grapefruit, passion-fruit and gooseberry notes, whilst also introducing tropical flavours such as mango with a hints of spice and minerality to add further complexity. Drinking well now, the depth in this wine should allow cellaring of 3-4 years.
