Grove Mill Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Description

Dry, Feijoa, Lime

"It's fabulously expressed on the nose, showing feijoa, green rockmelon, pineapple, and lime zest aromas. The palate offers terrific fruit power and persistence, splendidly supported by bright acidity, leading to a persistent, delicious finish. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2026

Expressive aromas of tropical fruit and grapefruit are layered with subtle notes of fresh-cut herbs and crunchy green nuances. A vibrant, contemporary expression of Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc, it delivers a juicy palate, bright citrus acidity, and impressive concentration, finishing long, focused, and beautifully balanced.

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.

The grapes were selectively harvested and brought straight into the winery. The fruit was gently crushed and pressed before being settled into tank. 1% was run to barrel for wild fermentation, and the rest was racked to stainless steel tanks innoculated with selected yeast strains to promote Sauvignon Blanc specific aromas.
