Badlands New World Pilsener

– ABV: 5.3%

Grown in the same valley in the South Island of NZ famous for Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs, Nelson Sauvin has similar flavours to the grape variety from which it takes its name. Nettle, gooseberry and elderflower aromatics are prominent in this spritzy, slightly bitter pilsener. Perfect with seafood, bbq, fresh air, best mates and sunshine.
