- Dry style
- Kiwifruit
- Jasmine
- Juicy acidity
"Intensely aromatic and instantly appealing, the wine shows passionfruit, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and jasmine aromas. The palate delivers excellent concentration and fruit power, wonderfully supported by fleshy texture and juicy acidity, making it exuberant and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2024
"Bright, even, pale yellow with a slight green hue. The nose is pure and fresh with aromas of guava, peach, citrus, nettle and crushed rocks. Medium-light bodied, aromas of guava and peach melded with grapefruit, zest, nettle, fennel and crushed rocks. The soft palate is packed with attractive aromatics; gentle yet invigorating acidity leads a fluid mineral flow to linearity. This irresistible Sauvignon Blanc possesses detailed, crisp layers and a lively, lingering presence" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Oct 2024
"A classic bouquet of ripe citrus and myriad fresh orchard fruits with a tropical twist. There’s also a touch of elegance with a more curvaceous satin frame as the wine touches the palate. No mistaking the energy and firs of a youthful wine, definitive acidity and core fruit and mineral attributes. Fleshy, fruity, bright and ready, a wine best enjoyed from 2024 through 2027. Excellent with food including cheese. I tried this wine with Barry’s Bay Parmesan, they liked each other a lot" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2024
Influenced by Marlborough’s memorable style, we’ve created an exuberant Reserve Sauvignon Blanc from Dillons Point, the most expressive subregion. Grown in alluvial soils with coastal influences, this wine has a unique salty minerality, ripe tropical and stone fruit flavours with impressive palate weight. Wrapped up with a mouth-watering finish, this is our very own signature style.
The natural, pure water springs emerge through rocks, crystal clear at our family home vineyard in the Rapaura region of Marlborough. The springs influence how we make our wines and tend to our vineyards. We are committed to making consistently world class wines, that reflect the purity, soul and unique identity of our diverse region.
The 2024 vintage was one of the best we've seen. The summer was consistently hot, dry, and windy – delivering a smaller vintage with exceptionally clean fruit and lots of flavour. The perfect conditions meant picking at full ripeness, and the cooler evenings ensured acidity was retained. Our grapes were immediately pressed, minimising skin contact, allowing us to capture expressive aromatics and vibrant flavours. We use a variety of yeasts for fermentation to provide palate weight and complexity.
