Nikau Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024
A tasty Sauv Blanc from a family-owned, independent producer.
Nikau Point is a beach on the North Island, and Marlborough produces 2/3 of New Zealand’s wine from the NorthEast corner of the South Island.
This is a tasty, balanced, inexpensive Sauvignon Blanc that drinks beyond its price tag.
Not spiky or grassy, but bright and juicy.
An excellent summer sipper at a nice price.

Hey
domain
Davecheapwinefinder.com
again.
Another
value
price
one
went
to
Trader
Joe's.
There's
nothing
new
there
anymore.
But
I
did
find
uh
wine
that
we
did
review
in
2019.
Back
then
it
was
a
$5.99
wine,
now
it's
a
$7.49
wine.
It
is
the
Nikal
Point,
Marlborough
Savion
Blanc
2024.
Uh
Nika
N-I-K-A-U
point
is
a
beach
on
the
North
Island
on
the
east
side.
Um
Marlborough,
where
the
grapes
came
from,
is
uh
on
the
northeast
uh
corner
of
the
South
Island.
And
about
two-thirds
of
all
the
wines
out
of
New
Zealand
come
from
Marlborough.
There's
a
bunch
of
bays
and
heights,
you
know,
there's
high
ground
wine,
low
ground
wine,
all
sorts
of
stuff.
Right
near
the
ocean,
a
little
bit
farther
away.
So
it
gives
you
a
little
bit
of
um
a
chance
to
get
different
types
of
grapes
in
your
wine.
Um,
what
do
we
have
here?
This
is
a
wine
from
um
a
small
one.
That's
a
smaller,
independent,
family-owned
winery.
Um
they
have
about
they
have
four
or
five
different
brands.
Their
wines
are
usually
between
like
10
and
30.
Um,
most
of
their
wines
come
from
their
own
vineyards.
I
don't
know
if
this
one
came
from
their
own
vineyard
at
eight
bucks
and
a
Trader
Joe's
wine.
It
maybe
it
didn't.
I
mean
it
could,
but
it
maybe
it
didn't.
Maybe
it
was
easier
just
to
purchase
wines.
They
think
the
um
back
label
does
reference
multiple
vineyards,
which
is
um
which
is
average
for
one
of
these
um
inexpensive
New
England,
uh
New
Zealand
wines,
not
New
England,
New
Zealand.
Typically,
they're
like
a
taste
of
Marlborough,
they're
taking
from
different
sections
of
Marlborough
and
put
together,
so
you
get
complexity
at
a
very
cheap
price.
I'm
gonna
take
a
sip.
That's
a
nice
Marlborough.
New
Zealand.
Uh
why?
It's
not
spiky,
it's
not
grassy,
it's
more
juicy
and
bright
than
anything
else.
I
I
think
they've
kind
of
gotten
away
from
those
um,
you
know,
really
bold
New
Zealand
Sabine
Blancs
from
a
few
years
back.
This
one
is
just
juicy
and
tasty
and
nice
to
drink.
It's
12%
alcohol,
which
so
you're
not
overdoing
it.
It
just
sips.
This
is
sipping
wine.
This
is
um
hot
afternoon,
a
muggy
evening,
put
a
chill
in
the
bottle.
This
will
make
you
feel
alright.
Take
another
sip.
Yeah,
it's
it's
just
it's
not
complex,
but
it
tastes
good.
It's
got
a
good
the
acidity,
it
is
balanced,
it's
not
there's
no
sharp
acidity.
Um
the
fruit
is
a
lot
of
tropical
fruit,
but
there's
also
peaches
and
pears
and
lemons
and
green
apples
and
that
type
of
thing.
There's
just
a
lot
of
really
nice
fruit
in
here.
This
is
a
um
bernicopia.
This
is
actually
coming
up
for
Thanksgiving,
which
is
still
a
ways
away.
This
is
a
wine
that
as
long
as
you're
having
like
a
turkey,
which
is
a
uh
a
lighter,
uh
a
lighter
meat,
you
can
pair
this
with
turkey.
It's
got
enough
kind
of
it's
kind
of
enough
harvest
flavors
if
you
can
harvest
tropical
fruit.
Um
that
would
fit
in,
depending
on
what
your
uh
menu
is,
but
on
many
kind
of
traditional
ones,
it
might
work
really
well.
Taking
another
sip.
Yeah,
there's
no
it's
not
spiky.
There's
there's
there's
nothing
wrong
with
this
wine.
Eight
bucks
per
really
nice
wine.
It's
got
kind
of
a
viscous
uh
mouthfeel
to
it,
which
is
kind
of
nice.
It
brings
the
fruit
right
along.
Um
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
this.
This
yeah,
this
is
just
a
well-made
Marlboro.
I
mean,
I
think
you
know,
most
people
at
this
point
have
had
enough
have
had
a
few
different
Marlboro
Sauvignon
Blancs.
And
this
is
a
really
nice
one.
If
you
like
your
white
your
wine
bright,
juicy,
this
is
it.
So,
what
do
we
got
coming
up?
I've
got
a
um
California
Cabernet
Sauvignon
and
a
really,
really
fancy
Spanish
Kava.
A
really
fancy
one,
but
not
too
expensive.
So
there
you
go.
Uh
that
we'll
talk
never
been
a
couple
days
with
those
wines.
This
is
Domain
Dave
from
cheapwinefighter.com.
Adios,
keep
it
cheap.
The
Naku
and
I
think
it's
Naku
Point,
Marlboro,
Sauvignon
Blanc.
It's
pretty
good.
So
adios
see
if
in
Trader
Joe's,
even
though
it's
been
around
a
while.
Any
via
before,
it's
still
worth
picking
up.
It's
a
bargain.
Adios
keep
it
cheap.
