Taihoa Vineyard

2015 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Astrolabe Taihoa Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from the 2015 vintage is a remarkable expression of Marlborough’s renowned winemaking prowess. This white wine presents a vibrant and refreshing character, with a medium body that beautifully balances its vivacious acidity, creating an invigorating mouthfeel. The fruit intensity shines through with prominent notes of citrus and tropical fruits, complemented by an elegant minerality that reflects its terroir. The wine is bone dry, allowing the crisp flavors to take center stage, while its subtle finish leaves a lasting impression of freshness. This Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful companion for seafood dishes or simply to enjoy on its own as a testament to Marlborough's exquisite winegrowing potential.

Marlborough

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
