The nose is lifted with citrus aromas of lime and grapefruit, fresh herbs, tropical fruits and blackcurrant bud. The palate shows flavours of tropical fruits, balanced by a crisp citrus acidity and a subtle minerality to help create great length.

Journey into the wildflowers, a secret world between the vines, where insects dance from petal to stem, a flourishing ecosystem amongst the rows. It’s all part of the bigger picture to protect our vines and keep pests away naturally. So as you’re busy enjoying this wine, remember our little friends between the flowers who help us to do things both differently, and beautifully.

Vintage 2024 was another one for the history books, with a hot, dry summer and low rainfall impacting the Marlborough region. Its a year that can be celebrated for its outstanding quality. Several factors contributed to lower yields, with early spring frosts, cooler temperatures during flowering, and prolonged dry conditions and water restrictions throughout summer and the harvest period. The unique seasonal conditions of vintage 2024 have produced wines of exceptional quality and showing the wonderful hallmarks that our Marlborough vineyards are known for - highly concentrated flavours, with underlying purity and minerality. We are excited to share them with the world.

Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc were selected from our Marlborough vineyards, where they were harvested at optimum ripeness. At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and clarified, after which the clear juice was inoculated using a range of selected yeast. A long cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks retained the vibrant, fresh characters Sauvignon Blanc is known for. After fermentation, the wine was blended, stabilised and filtered before bottling.
