WONDERFUL BOUTIQUE MARLBOROUGH SAUV
94/100 | Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review - "Impressively weight fruit... a refined classic Marlborough Sauvignon"
93/100 | David Walker Bell, Wine Folio
This 2024 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is something special. Those classic Marlborough characters of bright tropical fruits and passionfruit are still there in force but a portion of the juice was fermented in neutral French oak which has added stunning texture and complexity.
A generous, opulent expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, the 2024 release reveals layers of guava, passionfruit, and lush stonefruit. Richly textured, it carries through to a long, mineral-driven finish that balances freshness with depth. Pair this with whitebait fritters and watch the magic unfold!

David Walker Bell, Wine Folio writes "An organic wine from Marlborough- the labelling is also quite beautiful. A pale slate-green colour in the glass. It doesn’t have that slap-across-the face green attack of signature Marlborough Sav; rather a measured dose of the familiar – passionfruit, lemongrass, blackcurrant and crushed herbs, plus some opulence of peach, papaya and pineapple. As Old World as it is New, with a compelling line of crisp acidity and energy through the palate. Youthful, bright and zesty, the fruit accented with a gentle spice and white pepper. The finish is dry, tangy and has good length."
Stephen Wong MW writes "A hint of flinty minerality gives way to lime leaf and floral tones. Impressively weighty fruit on the palate is expertly hemmed by chalky phenolics and a refreshing hint of pith. Complex, perfumed and stylishly long, this is a refined classic Marlborough Sauvignon."
The winery writes "A standout expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, shaped by a season of extremes. Bright lemon hues lead to aromas of Cape gooseberry, passionflower, and lemon curd, with layers of Granny Smith apple, grapefruit zest, and grilled lime on the palate. A touch of neutral oak fermentation adds depth, while a long, textured finish lingers with fresh cashew and river stone minerality."
