Vineyards and Vintage Conditions
The 2024 vintage comes from Marlborough’s premium vineyards, where cool nights and abundant sunshine produce grapes with bright aromatics and natural acidity. The season was mild, allowing the Sauvignon Blanc to ripen evenly, resulting in fresh, zesty fruit and vibrant varietal character.

Winemaking Process
Grapes were hand-harvested and gently pressed to preserve delicate aromas. Fermentation took place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, ensuring freshness, purity, and intensity of flavour. Minimal intervention was used to highlight the vineyard’s expression.

Tasting Notes

Food Pairing
Ideal with fresh seafood, oysters, sushi, salads, and light poultry dishes. Its bright acidity also complements goat’s cheese and herb-scented vegetarian cuisine.
