Dashwood Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Gooseberry, Kiwifruit

"Fresh and inviting, the bouquet presents aromas of white-fleshed nectarine, green apple, and lemon/lime zest, leading to a splendidly expressed palate filled with ripe fruit intensity, finishing long and delicious. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

Classically Marlborough, our Sauvignon Blanc is balanced, crisp and lively, perfectly capturing the aromatic characters of Marlborough’s two exceptional sub-regions. Distinct and punchy with layered aromas of guava, gooseberry and citrus oil, underpinned with delicate floral and herbaceous notes. A crisp & lively palate of tropical fruits, zesty lime citrus and minerality with an elegant and energetic finish.

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.

Grapes were selected at peak 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 vibrant aromas of Sauvignon Blanc and fermentation was kept at cool temperatures to preserve fresh aromatics and fruit purity.
