Will give you just what you're looking for if you like the Marlborough Sauvignon style. It's a cooler-climate part of the region, which is reflected in the fresh and zippy breeziness and green pepper crunchiness. But there's also plenty of ripe and juicy, gooseberry and lime citrus fruit, and a satisfying mouthfeel from three months' ageing on fine lees before bottling. Mix-six price: £14
