Food match:

One of the many classic matches with sauvignon blanc is Oysters. Not everyone can do oysters, so steamed mussels work just as well.
These first two are match of contrast – salty food needs a high acid wine.
Another rule with food is that a richly textured food can have a higher acid wine for contrast; a dessert with cream or ice-cream should have a high acid wine like a sweet sauvignon blanc for contrast, as well as weight from the sugar in the wine.
The match options with sauvignon blanc are endless.

The season:

A gift to the NZ wine sector with near perfect growing conditions.
