"Moderately ripe, concentrated, juicy Sauvignon Blanc with nectarine, melon, passionfruit, guava and red capsicum flavours. A great result from a challenging vintage" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine Real Review, Jan 2023

"Fresh and intensely aromatic with Granny Smith apple, peach, feijoa and lime zest characters, it's succulent and wonderfully flavoursome in the mouth displaying excellent varietal purity and vibrancy. Beautifully supported by crisp acidity, finishing long and refreshing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2022

Distinct and punchy with layered aromas of guava, gooseberry and citrus peel, underpinned with delicate floral and herabeous notes. A concentrated palate of tropical fruits and minerality with a elegant and energetic finish.

Classically Marlborough, our Sauvignon Blanc is balanced, crisp and lively, perfectly capturing the aromatic characters of Marlborough’s two exceptional sub-regions.

Grapes were selected at full ripeness from Marlborough’s two winegrowing valleys; the Wairau Valley and the Awatere Valley. After harvest they were immediately pressed into stainless steel tanks, cold settled and then racked for fermentation. Yeast strains were selected to enhance the particular aromas of Sauvignon Blanc and fermentation was kept at cool temperatures to preserve fresh aromatics and fruit purity.

Dashwood embraces the natural beauty of the coastlines and unique flora and fauna that are synonymous with New Zealand. Taking inspiration from the native Pohutukawa that flowers in summertime along New Zealand’s coastlines, our wines embody the care and respect we have for our precious environment.
