Marlborough Voltage: Moroki Sauvignon Blanc 2023
Tasting Notes
Radiant pale straw-green in the glass. Aromas burst with gooseberry, lime zest, grapefruit, green apple, grapefruit, jalapeño leaf and lemongrass—a textbook Marlborough explosion. On the palate: juicy, vibrant, medium‑bodied, crisp lime and starfruit, a hint of physalis, finishing with a zingy saline freshness and herbal lift. Pure New Zealand Sauvignon energy.
