Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A classic Sauvignon expression. Strong Guava aromas are backed by a range of tropical and citrus characters that reflect the perfect 2024 growing season in Marlborough. Varietal definition and intensity are wonderfully balanced by the subtle richness and concentration of the vintage. Acidity is perfectly balanced and compliments the ripe aromas and flavours provided by this excellent harvest.
This wine is machine harvested and pressed straight to Stainless Steel. Settling for 3 days before racking for ferment, 15% of which is fermented using indigenous yeasts in old French oak. This wine is unfined."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"A bold bouquet and palate with a big story of fresh citrus and fried herb then pomaceous fruits of apple and pear then grapefruit and fresh sage. Weighty, satin touch then a rush of acidity and white spice, fresh citrus and orchard fruits, jalapeno and lychee nut. Well made, very expressive and delicious. Best drinking from 2025 through 2030+."
93/100 Rebecca Gibb MW, March 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc Heritage Vineyard is a richly textured, satisfying style with succulent flavors of passion fruit, ripe apple and pineapple. Balanced and carefully handled, this is a shapely white that speaks of the richer soils it hails from. Everything is in the right place, leaving a calm yet refreshing finish."
92/100 James Suckling, November 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"A subtle sauvignon blanc with lemon and green pear character with minerally undertones and a vivid finish. Medium body. Tight palate and a crisp finish. Oysters, please! Drink now."
