Baron Edmond de Rothschild 'Rimapere' Sauvignon Blanc 2023/24, Marlborough

You might not associate the Rothschild name with Marlborough, since the family are famed in Bordeaux for some of the finest châteaux in the world. But Benjamin de Rothschild was so fond of Marlborough Sauvignon, he bought the best land possible and flew in award-winning French winemaker, Anne Escalle in order to create his own. The winery is situated next to Cloudy Bay in what’s known as the ‘Golden Triangle’ – arguably the oldest and most established spot of Marlborough. The Rothschild exacting requirements for excellence shine through in this single-vineyard Sauvignon. Expect aromas of lemon, gooseberry and green tea, plus a long, smooth finish. Try it with grilled meaty swordfish to make its flavours sing.
