2025 Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Champion Sauvignon Blanc, Aotearoa Regional Wine Competition.
Grown across our vineyards in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys, this is Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc without the sharp edges — rounder and fuller, with a finish that lingers.
Fresh and vibrant on the nose, with citrus zest and freshly cut grass alongside a hint of tropical fruit. The palate has crisp acidity and flavours of passionfruit, guava and a touch of lemongrass, finishing clean and long.

Perfect pairing
This wine pairs beautifully with fresh seafood like grilled shrimp or oysters, highlighting its citrus and mineral notes. It also complements tangy goat cheese salads, asparagus risotto, and lighter dishes such as summer salads, lemon-roasted chicken, and spicy Thai cuisine. It enhances these flavours with its versatile character, making it a perfect companion for good times.
Winemaking
The fruit was carefully harvested in the cool of the morning to preserve its delicate flavours and natural acidity. After harvest, the grapes were gently pressed, and the juice was transferred into stainless steel tanks for cool fermentation, retaining the fruit’s vibrant aromas and fresh character. The wine was then fined and filtered to ensure clarity and stability before being bottled.

"Fabulously fruited and inviting, the wine shows feijoa, green rockmelon, fig and lime peel aromas on the nose, followed by a brilliantly expressed palate that's juicy and flavoursome. Upfront and vibrant, offering excellent drinking."

Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"Pungent, fruity, varietal and enticing bouquet, there’s no mistaking the variety with its tropical fruits and citrus pull, some fresh herbs and river stone quality. The palate reflects these ideas wrapped in acidity and a gentle saline quality."
