Buy OnlineWith the shortage of Sauvignon Blanc around we started to look for some new labels to add to our selection and we came across this one which impresses for quality and value. The Bishell family have farmed in Marlborough since 1880, naming the farm Caythorpe. They planted their first vines in 1987 growing grapes for others and in 2015 established their own label. Along with grapes and cherries, Caythorpe remains a working farm.
Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Intensely aromatic passionfruit, red apple, pear, with notes of herb and citrus. Crisp and refreshing on the palate with concentrated flavours of passionfruit and green mango, with a well-weighted finish."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Ripe and fruity, varietal and pungent with a bouquet and palate filled with apple and gooseberry, white pineapple and grapefruit. A lovely satin texture on the palate with a backbone of acidity and flavours that mirror the nose as well as fresh green herbs and a fine lees quality adding spice and complexity. Delicious fresh and ready to drink from 2023 through 2027."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, October 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Punchy and fabulously fragrant, the wine shows green rockmelon, kaffir lime, jalapeno and lime zest aromas, leading to a wonderfully flavoursome palate delivering terrific fruit power and persistency. Classically expressed with a long delicious finish. At its best: now to 2026."
