Critic Review: Cupcake Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, crisp wine that comes from vineyards in the South Island of New Zealand, where the cool growing season allows the grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. Flavors of Meyer lemon, white nectarine and key lime integrate with subtle hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating into a long, balanced finish. Pair oysters on the half shell, creamy lobster risotto or a picnic in the park.

My Review: It has a very citrusy flavor and is very light. Notes of lemon and lime with a clean finish. Goes well with chicken breast, and fish. It also goes well mixed with a spritzer.
