FIVE STARS 95/100 | Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
94/100 'Excellent' | Cameron Douglas MS
The Two Rivers masterminds have drawn fruit from throughout the Marlborough region to create this exquisite five star sauvignon blanc. It's a tour de force style that explodes on the palate with fleshy layers of zingy, zesty tropical fruits and those flavours flow through the palate with great drive and length. We thought this 2025 release was absolutely sensational. Buy with our very highest recommendation.

The winery writes "An enticing bouquet of fresh capsicum, crisp snow peas, and pineapple, enhanced by fresh mint, zesty lime, and refreshing cucumber. The palate is well-balanced, with vibrancy and energy. A subtle mineral backbone supports the mid-palate,with a pure saline finish. This vintage stands out with its exceptional purity and balance. This captivating wine blends the bold flavours from our Wairau and Awatere Valleys, showcasing finesse, freshness, and a subtle complexity."
Sam Kim, Wine Orbit writes "Offering fabulous fruit purity and power, the wine displays aromas of grapefruit, kiwifruit, and kaffir lime, with a hint of a flinty overtone. It's brilliantly focused and wonderfully weighted in the mouth, delivering refined texture backed by racy acidity, finishing impressively long and enticing. At its best: now to 2032."
Cameron Douglas MS writes "Pungent, ripe, varietal and high energy. Aromas of red bell-pepper and apple, fresh citrus peel and white peach, there’s also green mango and cape gooseberry as well as fresh basil. On the palate – youthful, equally high energy with laser-like acidity, flavours of fresh fruits led by citrus then tropical and white stone fruit. A high energy wine best enjoyed from day of purchase through 2029. Exceptional value."
