Earthling Sauvignon Blanc 2022
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandThis one is for the millennials, and it begins with the label, 'try and find the same bottle twice'. The background of the front label changes with each bottle, and you'll find a new 'Earthling' on every back label in a case. Each Earthling offers unique 'cheers' to a relatable human truth on the label, and you can also scan the QR code on the back label and watch the earthling come to life. Tap each character to interact with them. I know, I know, what about the wine? Well, it measures up. The style is vibrant and very sauvignon leading with lime, citrus, and passion fruit. Impressive. The Earthling uses lightweight bottles (417g), minimal use of farming equipment, plants 100s of trees to offset carbon, employs netting instead of spraying and more.Tasted: 18 February 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $23.50 | 750ml | select private retailers |
