White Wine

Wild ferment, French oak, super-grand and arresting. Decanter "lovely creaminess... packed full of flavour, intense bacon fat, spice, subtle tropical fruit... elegant style"

Clear, creamy, nutty, silky. Ripe pear, nutmeg. 4.4g/l sugar, but tastes much richer. Winemaker Fiona Turner really is a star.

By Kevin Judd ex-Cloudy Bay head winemaker/co-founder. His top SB, rare and indeed, wild as in unique and funky - indigenous yeast ferment in old oak. Ground-breaking top-end NZSB.

Such joy from this small 2-family artisan estate. Ex-Cloudy bay winemaker. Only a few quid more than basic 'NZSB' but gosh what an upgrade! Jancis Robinson MW 17/20 "...extra-bright fruit with strong passionfruit aromas and a certain amount of delicacy. Chalky finish. Lots of interest here. Very youthful and energetic indeed. Complimenti!" Parker 92/100 "Perhaps the most complex regular Savvy I can recall from Dog Point… offers up aromas that range from subtle notions of garden peas to melon, nectarine and pink grapefruit. It's medium-bodied and silky in texture, generous yet crisp, with a focused, slightly chalky and deliciously lingering finish."

Bright and clear. Scent of grapefruit and zippy tangerine, charming silky texture. Good acid thread, and nicely dry.

A textured and savoury wine. It shows fleshy white nectarine and orchard fruit, alongside a flint-focussed precision on the palate, with a grainy and honeyed richness. It shows crystalline purity, with powerful savoury oak, and layered complexity.

No other region in the world can match Marlborough in New Zealand for Sauvignon Blanc popularity, alive with aromatic fruit and refreshing acidity. Pure elderflower, cut grass and tropical fruit. Very rewarding!

A wild ferment, aged in old French oak.

Expressive and aromatic on the bouquet, this wine shows lifted notes of Turkish delight, exotic fruit and crystallized ginger. The palate has weight and texture without sweetness, giving the elegant exotic fruits and exotic spice flavours good persistence and elegance.

Clearly many steps above standard NZSB, a matserpiece of subtlety from the co-founder of Cloudy Bay.

Jancisrobinson.com previous vintage 17/20 "Lovely smoky nose... Bags of intense, rich citrus fruit, so pure and deep. Tastes amazing with sushi and soy sauce, brings out the savoury side of the wine, and the delicious mealy, creamy texture"

his Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers complexity of texture and a mineral drive that summons river stones and sea spray. Blackcurrant, guava and passionfruit are captured alongside the subtlest hint of oyster-shell. This wine is focused and explosive on both nose and palate yet remains elegantly balanced and distinctly saline.

jancisrobionson.com 17/20 "Gruner Veltliner written all over it...peppery but it also has the oily (in a good way) depth that I have only ever seen in the Wachau"

Mouth watering Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe tropical fruit flavours and a twist of crisp citrus.

Classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, combining intense passionfruit aromas with tropical fruit flavours. Fresh, pure and long on the palate, this wine reflects its premium vineyard sites within the Wairau and Awatere valleys

Passion fruit and pea shoots mingle easily on the nose of this medium-bodied wine. This is a fully dry and somewhat austere Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, ending on notes of white grapefruit and hints of underripe stone fruit.
