Talk show king Graham Norton has been moonlighting as a winemaker, blending Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc into an award-winning wine in a London apartment.

A precise yet powerful wine with explosive flavours of lime, lemongrass and passionfruit.

Joe Babich favours 'a fuller, riper, softer style of Sauvignon Blanc'. It's not a jump out of the glass style, but the wines develop well. The latest releases reflect a rising input of grapes from the company's Cowslip Valley vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, which gives less herbaceous fruit characters that it's other Marlborough vineyards. This smooth wine features strong, ripe flavours of melons and limes, moderate acidity and a rounded, rich finish - great drinkability and well regarded all over the world.
