Delta Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Melon, Passionfruit

"It's superbly fruited and fragrant on the nose, with passionfruit, feijoa, kaffir lime, and white-flower aromas. The palate delivers terrific weight and fruit intensity, beautifully supported by vibrant acidity, making it deliciously flavoursome. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2025

"Crisp and dry filled with aromas and flavours of fresh apple and tropical fruits, some wet pebbles mineral qualities and a whisper of salinity. Grapes and gooseberry, a a touch of nettles and fresh herbs, apple and pineapple. High acidity, fleshy and balanced. A wine for drinking from 2025 through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc has an elegant and structured palate, with intense aromas of blackcurrant, grapefruit and ripe passionfruit.

Selected from two sites within Marlborough's Dillons Point subregion in the Lower Wairau Valley. Close to the ocean, this sub-region experiences long hot days balanced by the effect of cooling sea breezes at night. This allows the grapes to reach full flavour ripeness whilst retaining vibrant acidity.

The 2025 vintage was well balanced, showcasing excellent quality. The vineyards experienced healthy flowering, followed by adequate rainfall and settled conditions during the summer season.

Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, the fruit was continually monitored until a balance of flavour, acidity and physiological ripeness was reached.

Food Pairing: An ideal match with fresh Marlborough mussels, or a vibrant goat's cheese salad.
