Crisp Sauvignon Blanc 2021
Overview
Overview
We love SauvBlanc. In fact, we were the first to produce Sauvignon Blanc in New Zealand way back in 1974. It was a bit of a new kid on the block then. Since then, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc has exploded onto the world stage creating fans wherever it has gone. It’s now the most popular wine from New Zealand.
We have created a range of delicious Sauvignon Blancs–Crisp and Lighter –each with their own distinct style so you can find one that best suits you. This little beauty is our crisp expression.

Flavours and Palate
This is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc - mouth-wateringly crisp with citrus fruit, topped with fresh pineapple and guava. Herbaceous sage and mint characters linger to a super refreshing finish

Marlborough, New Zealand
For many people, Marlborough, located at the top of the North Island, IS New Zealand. After all, it was Marlborough, and its acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc, that brought New Zealand to the wine world’s attention. But although Sauvignon Blanc remains the area’s flagship, Marlborough’s diverse meso-climates and sub-regions also offer pure, intensely flavoured Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and aromatic whites.
Chris Darling - Winemaker
Growing up in Australia, Chris’ interest in wine first stemmed from his father – an avid wine lover himself, who shared the stories and mystiques of the world of wine with his son. This initial interest soon turned into a passion, which led Chris to pursue a career in the industry with the aim of crafting wines which could be enjoyed the world over.
After completing an Oenology degree at Roseworthy College in Adelaide, Chris worked in vineyards across Western Australia before relocating to New Zealand in 2003.
