Cameron Douglas: Two Rivers 'Convergence' Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough

Two Rivers 'Convergence' Sauvignon Blanc 2025, Marlborough    RRP from $22.00   Pungent, ripe, varietal and high energy. Aromas of red bellpepper and apple, fresh citrus peel and white peach, there’s also green mango and cape gooseberry as well as fresh basil. On the palate – youthful, equally high energy with laser-like acidity, flavours of fresh fruits led by citrus, then tropical and white stone fruit. A high energy wine best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2029. Exceptional value.      Food match:   One of the many classic matches with sauvignon blanc is Oysters. Not everyone can do oysters, so steamed mussels work just as well.   These first two are match of contrast – salty food needs a high acid wine.   Another rule with food is that a richly textured food can have a higher acid wine for contrast; a dessert with cream or ice-cream should have a high acid wine like a sweet sauvignon blanc for contrast, as well as weight from the sugar in the wine.   The match options with sauvignon blanc are endless.    The season:    A gift to the NZ wine sector with near perfect growing conditions.    LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
