Zephyr, MKIII Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, 2017

Named after the Ford car which launched in 1962 with the latest in windscreen technology - two-speed wipers - this wine is a stylish and stylised Sauvignon Blanc that provides a rather elegant barrel fermented expression of the varietal. Sleek and smooth, it has a mellow character, sitting comfortably in the back seat and riding along on the fuel of fine acidity.
