Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"A classic expression of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough's Wairau Valley. Bursting with tropical fruit characters found in this warmer subregion, this wine displays punchy aromas of passionfruit and blackcurrant. The palate has an enticing and complex array of rich citrus fruits mixed with ripe herbs finishing with fresh and juicy acidity.

Low rainfall over winter and cooler weather at flowering resulted in reduced crop yield for the 2024 harvest. The growing season progressed with Marlborough's classic dry conditions, warm days and cool nights. The idyllic weather and low crops produced pristine grapes with concentrated flavours and fresh acidity."

5 Stars & 95/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, September 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"It's gorgeously fruited and intensely expressed on the nose, showing passionfruit, pineapple, mango and lime zest aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and fruit power, wonderfully supported by vibrant acidity, making it delicious and hugely appealing. At its best: now 2030."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"Pungent bouquet, varietal and intense with scents of passion fruits and pink grapefruit, crisp red apple flash and a mix of basil and sage -like herb qualities. Equally intense on the palate, crisp, dry, salivating and packed with flavour. The acidity also carries a saline effect on the palate accentuating the flavours of orchard fruits and citrus. Best drinking from late 2024 through 2027+."

90/100 Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com, December 2024 (2024 Vintage)
"The 2024 Wairau Valley Reserve Sauvignon Blanc offers far more overt thiols than the Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc of the same vintage. While that pins it to the wall as being unmistakably from Marlborough, it also makes for a far more pungent drinking experience, with passion fruit, guava, overt tropicals and some soft green leaf herbs. The wine is punctuated by brilliant acidity. This is certainly precisely from the Wairau Valley, and that is undoubtedly a good thing."
