A Marlborough icon, now owned by luxury goods firm LVMH, almost three-quarters of its production is dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc. The estate Sauvignon remains a good example of classic Marlborough; whether or not it represents value for money, it is one of New Zealand's halo brands. The barrel-fermented Te Koko Sauvignon Blanc has become more subtle in recent years, although keeping Marlborough's flamboyance in check will always be a challenge. NZ Pinot Noir lovers can find greater complexity in Marlborough's hills and beyond.
