Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc is the signature wine of New Zealand's Marlborough region.
Grown by generations
Marlborough Heartland is an exciting premium Sauvignon Blanc that harks back to the pioneer days of winemaking in Marlborough, when farming families and winemakers partnered to create something original and special from the unique soils of the Marlborough region.
By drawing on the collective knowledge of generations of farmers, the artisanship of specialist winemakers and the pioneering spirit of industry legend Dave Hohnen, we’ve produced a special Sauvignon Blanc that is unique in its own right – taking the essence of crafting great wine back to its roots.
Tasting notes | 2023 Sauvignon Blanc
Colour/hue
Bright lemon with hints of silver at the edges.
Nose
Lime zest and citrus flower with hints of herb, flinty minerality rounded out with ripe passionfruit.
Palate
Ripe citrus with green tropicals up front, expanding into passionfruit and hints of ripe papaya. Tight acidity and a light phenolic grip lead to a long finish.
​​
Food matching
Pairs easily with fresh foods, oysters, scallops, beurre blanc etc.
Has the depth and palate to also work well with Carpaccio, beef or kingfish, and cuts nicely through a carbonara. Counters the richness of chèvre.
Equally as comfortable with fish and chips, swinging your legs off the dock on a sunny day.
