This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Winemakers cultivate Sauvignon Blanc in Nelson’s well-draining alluvial soils, where extended sunshine builds generous ripeness and cool nights preserve crisp acidity. They pick in the early morning to maintain aromatic intensity and conduct a controlled, low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel to retain bright guava and grapefruit character. Working with French 316 and 317 plant material and excluding oak, they focus on delivering a clean, fruit-forward style that emphasizes freshness and natural tropical lift.

Vintage The 2025 vintage in Nelson benefited from the region’s signature sunshine, with long, warm days shaping a generous and even growing season. Throughout 2025, cool maritime nights preserved natural acidity, creating ideal balance at harvest. The well-draining alluvial soils moderated vine vigor during the 2025 season, supporting steady ripening across the vineyards. Harvested in the cool early mornings of 2025 and fermented in stainless steel, this vintage was crafted to capture the purity and precision of the year.

Pairing Logic Vivid and zesty, this Sauvignon Blanc thrives alongside dishes that mirror its tropical lift and mouth-watering precision. Pair it with grilled prawns, herb-marinated chicken, sushi, or bright salads layered with grapefruit and avocado to amplify its guava-laced fruit and mineral edge. Its crisp, tangy finish cuts cleanly through creamy sauces and fried fare, refreshing the palate and inviting the next vibrant bite.
