Description

  • Dry style
  • Tropical fruit
  • Saline minerality
  • Elegant & textural

"Winemaking experience, vine age and a top vineyard site have each played a part in creating this successful sauvignon blanc. Intense, punchy sauvignon blanc with passionfruit, guava, lime, gooseberry and lemongrass flavours. Very well-made wine from a tough vintage. Crisp, dry with a lingering finish. One of the best Marlborough sauvignons I have tasted from the tricky 2022 vintage" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Jan 2023

"Fabulous bouquet os sea spary and citrus fruits, there’s a savoury seam with a mix of tropical fruits and peaches, fresh basil and lime. On the palate - vibrant, saline, crisp, salivating and savoury, everything the bouquet suggests. Plush and vibrant, great mouthfeel and classic flavours. Best drinking from 2023 through 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2022

Vavasour Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2022 shows recognisable aromas of passionfruit and citrus peel upfront, evolving with layers of green tropicals and an oyster shell minerality. Vibrant flavours of tropical fruits and citrus hang off this concentrated and textural wine. A saline minerality and an elegant acid line run through the wine showcasing its Awatere Valley origin. Poised and complex.
