Wine Flavor Profile

Split Rock Sauvignon is a crisp dry white wine with classic lemon-lime zest aromas, followed by an enticing hint of orange blossom. The palate is elegant and also exhilarating, displaying mouthwatering gooseberry, peas-in-a-pod and vibrant citrus flavors.


New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most exciting whites, and the award-winning Split Rock Sauvignon Blanc comes from the oldest winery on New Zealand’s famous South Island.

Hermann Seifried built his boutique family cellar in 1973 with the help of the local church. Today, his son is at the helm and continues to produce terrific wines—like this acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc, with its classic zingy aromas and mouthwatering citrus flavors. It’s crafted from a special selection of grapes from the family’s estate vineyards and takes its name from Hermann’s favorite picnic spot, scenic Split Apple Rock in nearby Able Tasman National Park.

Like all of New Zealand’s fine whites, Split Rock is kept fresh under screwcap. A treat on its own, it makes an elegant aperitif. Or, try it with a variety of seafood—from grilled shrimp to your sushi favorites.

Nathan Detroit, the financially strapped organizer of the oldest, established, permanent, floating crap game in New York, is trying to find a new venue, despite the scrutiny of police lieutenant Brannigan, who is determined to stop it once and for all. Nathan and his cohorts, Nicely-Nicely Johnson and Benny Southstreet, are equally determined to get the game up and running again. Because of the "heat" from Brannigan, Nathan's only option for the site is the Biltmore Garage, whose owner is demanding a $1,000 advance. Nathan, who is so broke that he cannot afford to buy an anniversary gift for Miss Adelaide, his fiancée of fourteen years, sees a way out of his predicament when he hears that Sky Masterson, a gambler noted for making large and unusual bets, is having lunch in nearby Mindy's restaurant.
