Tasting Notes

Lifted notes of fresh grapefruit and tropical fruits on the nose leading to a fresh palate with concentrated fruit flavours and a mouth-watering finish.

Food Matches

Perfect with fresh, vibrant dishes such as grilled prawns, Thai chicken or salads. Its bright acidity and tropical fruit character pair beautifully with seafood, creamy cheeses, and avocado.

Vinification

Fruit is sourced predominantly from the Wairau Valley, Marlborough’s largest and most established sub-region, renowned for producing vibrant expressions of Sauvignon Blanc. The valley’s broad river plains feature free-draining alluvial soils of gravel, sand and silt, deposited over time by the Wairau River. The 2025 growing season provided ideal conditions for Sauvignon Blanc, with a warm, dry spring, a cooler January to preserve acidity and aromatics, and late-summer warmth allowing extended hang-time. Harvested mid-March in the cool of the morning, the fruit was clean, balanced, and disease-free. Yields were carefully managed and fermentation took place in stainless steel to maintain freshness and bright varietal character.
