Then, a dazzling Aussie Sauvignon, also with 96pts and two Golds.Sam Kim Wine Orbit praises its: “bright fruit intensity combined with vibrant acidity” and Sally Duncan, chair of the Hawkes Bay Winegrowers Association calls it “a Coonawarra cracker that gives the Kiwis a run for their money – and that’s saying a lot coming from a Kiwi. Zesty, and seriously refreshing.” But you can judge for yourself when you sip 94pt The Jumper Sauvignon from Marlborough’s celebrated Hunter’s Estate.
