Starborough Starlite Sauvignon Blanc (75cl, 9%)

Starborough Starlite Sauvignon Blanc is a lighter-style Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, bottled at 9% ABV in a 750ml bottle. It is designed as a lower-calorie, lower-alcohol alternative, with 90 calories and under one gram of sugar per five-ounce serving. Starborough sources its fruit from Marlborough, and the expression is engineered to retain aromatic intensity while reducing alcohol content. The nose opens with tropical grapefruit and ripe lime, followed by fresh lemongrass, with subtle hints of kiwi fruit. On the palate, passion fruit and guava arrive first, joined by citrus and kiwi, with a streak of traditional Sauvignon Blanc grassiness through the mid-palate. The finish is crisp and cool, with a briny hint of sea spray that lingers briefly.
