Description

Crafted from grapes selected from the finest and most diverse vineyards in the Wairau Valley, this wine is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Intense notes of passionfruit and fresh herbs are followed by explosive tropical aromatics and a multi-layered structure. Low winter rainfall and cooler weather during flowering led to a reduced 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed under Marlborough’s typical dry conditions, with warm days and cool nights. Ideal weather and a low yield produced pure grapes with concentrated flavor and fresh acidity.
