The Grape Whisperer Sauvignon Blanc

New Zealand white wine with the aroma of citrus and boxwood. The taste is fresh and soft. Delicious as an aperitif but also very suitable with fish dishes or asparagus dishes.

Beautiful white wine from New Zealand

Whether you 'farm' in New Zealand or, for example, in the Loire: making quality wine has a certain cost. The price difference with the basic wines from a certain wine region is mainly due to the limitation of the yield in the vineyard and the amount of attention that the winemaker gives to his vines. But sometimes there is only a small market for the very best quality. We notice that at Clos Marguerite.

This is the producer of one of the most beautiful sauvignon blancs from Marlborough, but with a price tag of 16 euros. This makes it not a runner in our range.

That's why we asked owner Charles van Hove if he might know a fellow producer who offers the same type of wine with entry-level quality. He replied that he wanted to work on this himself.

Charles decided to work differently on some plots with young vines and to allow a higher yield. He achieves this, among other things, by a less strict winter pruning – i.e. more fruit-bearing buds – and a dosed irrigation technique. The result: a lower cost price and more commercial opportunities. Yet here too you can taste the class of the winemaker: expressive, fresh-dry and flawless.

Whence the name The Grape Whisperer? Charles van Hove is a passionate wine man who realizes that the quality of wine is decided in the vineyard. That is where it has to happen and that may well be whispered in!
