Experiential Notes

Duck Hunter expresses signature notes of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Grassy, tropical fruits jump out on the aroma, with a touch of candied apples to go along the palate. It’s not quite as acidic as one might expect (for a Sauvignon Blanc, at least), but is still a cool and racy wine. A great choice to be paired with lighter fare, such as salad and seafood, or completely on its own on a warm summer day.
