New Zealand’s wine industry received an unlikely ally in the form of actor, Sarah Jessica Parker, in the battle of the southern hemisphere wine giants in the 40th Sydney International Wine Competition (SIWC).
Sarah Jessica Parker’s collaboration with New Zealand’s Invivo Wines helped the Kiwis complete a clean-sweep of trophies and medals in the competition’s Sauvignon Blanc category with a Blue Gold medal for her debut Invivo X, SJP Sauvignon Blanc 2019.
Parker put her olfactory skills to good effect with the blending of the Sauvignon Blanc from five parcels of 2019 Marlborough fruit to produce an easy-drinking, but distinctive wine described by SIWC judge, Andrea Pritzker MW, as having, “Lively aromas of passionfruit and fresh-cut grass. Crisp and fresh displaying passionfruit intensity and floral overtones”.
