Our Koha Sauvignon Blanc gets a 'Best Buy' award from Wine Enthusiast
We are absolutely delighted to share that our Koha Sauvignon Blanc (2024 vintage) has just been awarded a 'Best Buy' title from Wine Enthusiast Magazine in the USA.
We are so proud of this new acclaim. Best Buy wines are categorised as; "Products that offer a high level of quality in relation to price. Wines meriting this award are generally priced at $20 or less, and are designated Best Buys after surpassing 85 points and a specific quality-to-price ratio benchmark.
This is the second time our Koha Sauvignon Blanc has been awarded a Best Buy title from Wine Enthusiast, with the 2021 vintage receiving the same accolade.
Check out the rave review for the 2024 vintage below:
"Comparatively subtle notes of nectarine, passion fruit and citrus (with an herb-speckled underbelly) flow to a straightforward palate. There’s some nice roundness—even a pithy quality—to the texture, which, when combined with the prickly acidity, equates to versatile, food-friendly sipping. Banville Wine Merchants. Best Buy. —C.P."
We know that now, more than ever, people want to make smart wine buying decisions and make every dollar count, so getting a 'Best Buy' endorsement from one of the world's leading wine publications is a fantastic tick of approval.
"Versatile, food-friendly sipping"
