The wine that started it all for Hunter's internationally. 1982 was the first vintage of Sauvignon Blanc for Hunters and in 1986 they turned heads in the UK with the 1985 vintage. Over 40 years on and they're still winning plenty of fans and awards both here and around the world.
Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Our classically styled Sauvignon Blanc shows passionfruit and lime characters along with grapefruit and ripe flavours. Dry and saline, the vibrant palate has a creamy texture and a juicy finish. The multi layered palate is rich and complex with a dense fruit core. These flavours and aromas leave a fresh lingering finish on the palate making it a full satisfying wine with balanced acidity.
Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc is produced using our very best Estate grown fruit from our Wairau Valley vineyards. This area of Marlborough is famed for producing a vibrant and aromatic style of Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were harvested over a three-week period. The juice was pressed off and settled before being fermented in stainless steel tanks using wild and indigenous yeasts. Extended contact with the lees enhances the texture and complexity of the wine. After a brief period of aging, the wine was blended, and Estate bottled."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2025 (2025 Vintage)
"A lovely bouquet with an attractive core of ripe citrus and tropical fruits along with floral and soft lees quality adding complexity. Fleshy, fruity, varietal and delicious on the palate, a satin texture, contrasting acid line and a return to the flavours of citrus and tree fruit with a fine tropical quality. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2028+."
