Pale straw in colour, with a bouquet of ripe gooseberries, herb and nettle and the classic tropical fruit. The selection of parcel of fruit are blended to create an expressive dry white that exhibits tropical flavours of pineapple and lime yet retains a crisp vibrant acidity to balance a richly textured palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLovey to enjoy on its own but also a great accompaniment to chicken, turkey and pork along with haddock, bass, cod, salmon, oysters and calamari.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarlborough is by far New Zealand’s largest grape growing region with more than two-thirds of all plantings. First planted in 1873 it is known in the region by the Maori name, Kei puta te Wairau meaning ‘the place with the hole in the cloud’ due to its very high 2,410 sunshine hours a year. High sunshine and a dry growing season help to create the famous intense flavours. Generally, plantings are in two main valleys of Wairau and Awatere. Much of the land is alluvial river basin with well-drained soils that provide an ideal for Sauvignon Blanc and clay slopes better suited Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the heart of Marlborough, Turning Heads have a simple philosophy to accentuate all that is great about the region by utilising ripe fruit to craft premium wines. Launched in 2009 by the Rose Family on the edge of the Wairau River at Blenheim in Marlborough with vines well-duited to stony but fertile soil. The wines are produced from estate vineyards and with the up to the minute packaging, will certainly turn a few heads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liberty","offers":[{"title":"6 Bottle Case 6x75cl","offer_id":56906463052149,"sku":null,"price":95.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Bottle 75cl","offer_id":56906463084917,"sku":null,"price":15.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0131\/6713\/2731\/files\/TurningHeadsSauvignonBlancMarlborough.png?v=1760270677","url":"https:\/\/www.finewinedirect.co.uk\/products\/turning-heads-sauvignon-blanc-marlborough-2025","provider":"Fine Wine Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
