Always one of Marlborough’s top Sauvignon Blancs, made by former Cloudy Bay winemaker Kevin Judd. It has gentle tropical and citrus aromas and flavours, and the complex layers mean that each sip reveals a little more. A very stylish wine.

Forget flamboyant Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc; this restrained example is a pure and elegant expression sourced from both the Wairau Valley and an elevated site in the upper Awatere. It offers delicate aromas of elderflower, nettles, chamomile and citrus. Light to medium in body, a short period on lees has brought a textural element to the mid-palate, before the fresh but balanced acidity provides a flourish on the finish.
