Tasting Notes

Appearance

Brilliant pale straw with greenish hues, displaying excellent clarity and a vibrant, youthful luminosity that speaks to the wine's freshness and careful winemaking.

Aroma

The nose is immediately captivating, revealing classic Awatere Valley characteristics of guava, white currant, and delicate elderflower. These aromatics are beautifully complemented by juicy tropical passionfruit from the Wairau region, whilst subtle herbal notes of fresh basil and zesty lime add complexity and regional authenticity. The bouquet is expressive yet refined, showcasing the organic vineyard's low yields and hand-picked fruit quality.

Palate

On the palate, this Sauvignon Blanc presents a delicate, smooth texture with abundant fruity notes that mirror the aromatic profile. The tropical passionfruit and guava flavours are perfectly balanced by ripe, refreshing acidity that provides structure and vibrancy. Subtle hints of basil and lime weave through the mid-palate, adding herbaceous complexity without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long and mineral-driven, with a persistent chalky texture that reflects the vineyard's loam-over-clay soils and biodynamic farming practices.

Pairs With

This elegant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, seared scallops, goat's cheese salad, asparagus risotto, grilled prawns, Thai green curry, or herb-crusted snapper, making it an ideal companion for seafood and light vegetarian dishes.
