Matua holds a pivotal place in New Zealand's wine story, as brothers Bill and Ross Spence were the first to produce a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in 1974. The winery's name, 'Matua,' means 'head of the family' in te reo Māori, reflecting its foundational role. Their winemaking philosophy, often summed up as 'let the fruit do the talking,' focuses on enhancing the natural character of the grapes. Wine Description This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is deliciously pure, bursting withripe lemon citrus notes and hints of passion fruit and basil. The palate isfresh and vibrant with concentrated blackcurrant leaf and a touch of classiccut grass and green melon. So refreshing, you'll be left wanting more. Food Pairing This wine pairs excellently with fresh seafood, such as white fish like cod or snapper seasoned with lemon and herbs. Its crisp acidity and herbaceous notes are a perfect match for fresh goat cheese or a green salad with a citrus vinaigrette.
