Wairau River Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

This is the wine that put New Zealand on the world stage.  Our first vintage of Wairau River Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in 1991 won the National trophy for the best Sauvignon Blanc and promptly sold out.

It all starts in our Estate Marlborough vineyards, in the region famous for introducing elegant, cool climate New Zealand wines to the world. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop beautiful acidity which balances  the intense varietal characteristics of ripe grapefruit, white nectarine, and tropical fruits resulting in an elegant, refreshing, crisp flavoursome wine that distinctly says Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
