Grove Mill Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Feijoa, Lime

"Intensely aromatic and enticing, the wine showcases passionfruit, feijoa, lime peel, and jasmine notes, followed by a wonderfully weighted palate that offers excellent fruit purity and persistence. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

Intense tropical fruit aromas with a fresh green edge. A punchy, modern Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc with a juicy, vibrant palate driven by crisp citrus acidity and a long, focused finish.

The fruit for our Grove Mill Sauvignon Blanc was primarily harvested from our lower Wairau vineyards including our flagship vineyard, 17 Valley. Good soil and canopy management, cold nights during ripening, and a warm and dry summer kept all the concentrated flavours in the grapes which you can now taste in the wine.

Grapes were selectively harvested and brought straight to the winery. They were gently crushed and pressed and then settled in tank. 1% was run to barrel for wild fermentation, the rest was racked to stainless steel tanks and inoculated with selected yeast strains to promote Sauvignon Blanc specific aromas. Post fermentation the wine was prepared for bottling quickly to preserve freshness.
