Potager Sauvignon Blanc 2026, North Canterbury
Winemaker Dom Maxwell has done it again.
Fourth of the Potager wines to review today and this is no slouch. Pale straw with green highlights, then the aromatics hit hard. Gooseberry, passionfruit and fresh herbs lead, with notes of mango and crisp green apple, plus floral and mineral characters.
Dry and finely textured. The palate delivers vibrant citrus and orchard fruit, with green pear, lime and gooseberry supported by bright, energetic acidity. Four months of full yeast-lees ageing contributes texture and definition, while a subtle mineral character brings precision. The finish is crisp, super well balanced, focused and persistent, with lingering citrus, fresh herbs and mineral freshness. Nicely done Dom.
Vino Masters Score: 96/100 ★★★★★
