There are so many different Sauvignon Blancs out there in this big, bad world, so it's necessary to categorise the best from the not so goods.

In the name of nerdy wine science, the ‘taste professors’ at WineMarket put on their lab coats, strapped in their pen pocket protectors and got out their microscopes to work on finding the best stuff. When the ‘taste professors’ had finished their long, hard day they came to a few conclusions. Aside discovering they were fluent in New Zealandish, they'd cracked the code to the good gear.

Deliciousness, pure fruit flavours and high refreshment factor were all key things. The most drinkable, tastiest and cleanest wines were the ones that won the most praise – this Ara Pathway Sauvignon Blanc was with all the good guys at the top of the heap. It was thirst quenching, frisky, brightly flavoured and down right drinkable.

Made by a team of passionate wine makers, vineyard growers and fine wine enthusiasts, Ara has quickly become one of New Zealand's prized wine estates. Award winning and highly praised, Ara have made this Sauvignon Blanc for easy drinking and good times. And thankfully you don't have to have a University degree to drink it.

Great wine, microscopic price.
