Wine: Durvillea 2023 Sauvignon Blanc $18

Why I chose it:
- Terrific wine, especially considering the difficult vintage (cyclone Gabriella)
- Entry level wine for Astrolabe. Entry level price but not entry level quality.
- You might remember the MV Rena grounded on the Astrolabe reef in 2021. By chance there were a couple of containers of Astrolabe wine on board. The wine and MV Rena were lost.

What does it taste like?
- One of the best examples of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc from the 2023 vintage. Good intensity with restrained power and the perfect amount of punch without going overboard. Tantalising wine.

Why it’s a bargain:
- Well below average price for SB but well above average quality

Where can you buy it?
- Vino Fino and Wine Freedom in Christchurch both have it for $14.99

Food match?
- A versatile food match. I like it with Feta cheese. Most seafoods are a happy match.

Will it keep?
- Good for two years, perhaps more.
