Echo Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Description

Dry, Feijoa, Kiwifruit

"Classically expressed and fragrant, the wine features green apple, grapefruit, rockmelon, and herbaceous aromas on the nose, followed by a succulent palate that's punchy and lingering. Youthfully vibrant, offering splendid drinking" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

The 2026 Echo Sauvignon Blanc reveals a harmonious blend of zesty lime, rock melon, and lychee, subtly enhanced by a delicate mineral nuance. Bright, well-integrated acidity underpins the wine’s vibrant tropical character, delivering freshness, balance, and energy in every sip. Equally enjoyable in its youth, it also has the structure to develop gracefully over the coming years. 

Inspired by the Echo—a 104-foot scow-rigged topsail schooner that once navigated the Wairau Bar and Opawa River—this wine pays tribute to Marlborough’s rich heritage while celebrating the vitality of its modern vineyards. 

Food Pairing: A versatile companion to a range of dishes, particularly pan-seared white fish with capers and a squeeze of fresh lemon, where its brightness and balance truly shine.
