The Infamous Goose Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

The Infamous Goose is named for the moa, New Zealand's extinct giant flightless bird. Kobrand markets it in the US, and Luke Keet makes the wine.

The grapes come from the Wairau River Valley in Marlborough, from stony, sandy loam over shingle. They're destemmed, and only the free-run juice is fermented cool in stainless steel. The wine then rests three to four months on its lees for a rounder texture.

It shows kaffir lime, passionfruit pulp and lemon zest, concentrated citrus and tropical fruit, and mouth-watering acidity.

Compared with Oyster Bay, the Infamous Goose is riper and more tropical; with ceviche or spicy food, choose the Goose.

Pair it with ceviche, oysters or a poached chicken salad. Serve it well chilled, and drink it young while the fruit is bright.
