New Zealand made it's wine reputation with inexpensive, incredibly aggressive, citrus bomb Sauvignon Blancs. Te Koko is not one of those wines. First of all it's not inexpensive, it usually retails for significantly north of $50. And that is not all that is different, the wine-maker uses native NZ yeast for fermentation, they harvest a night to preserve the fruit and, they age it in oak. Making it unlike any NZ Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tried.
It's not a citrus bomb, oh, the citrus is there but it is more reserved so it won't overwhelm food. There are wildflower and vanilla flavors The oak brings an interesting structure creaminess to the wine. A deeply rich and interesting wine.
Now, the price. We've manage to get a bunch at a much lower price. Which means we can sell for around $30, at least until we run out.
