Jules Taylor Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Gooseberry, Guava

"Offering terrific fruit purity and power, the wine displays aromas of feijoa, kiwifruit, kaffir lime, and fresh herbs on the nose. The wonderfully weighted palate delivers excellent vibrancy and juicy fruit intensity, leading to a delectable, flavoursome finish. At its best: now to 2029" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Sep 2025

"A wine of fruit purity and freshness, minerality and power. Aromas and flavours of red apple and pink grapefruit, sweet hay and pineapple, stones and clay, dried herb and sage. A backbone of acidity, saline and core fruit flavours. A wine with persistent flavours and textures. Another delicious wine from Jules Taylor with best drinking from 2025 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2025

Very pale yellow. Vibrant aromas of fresh grapefruit, lemon zest, and crushed thyme leap from the glass, layered with subtle notes of passionfruit and juicy white peach. This expressive Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc delivers a burst of ripe citrus and crushed herbs with hints of elderflower and tropical fruit. The palate is dry and intensely flavoured, with a pithy texture and bright acidity that drive a long, mouthwatering finish, capturing the varietal’s signature energy and style.

Marlborough was blessed with another dry and generally warm growing season through 2024/25. Summer arrived early with warm, settled weather through ate November and December. This was ideal for flowering across for all varieties, and led to a high potential yield across the region. A cooler January saw high yields become more obvious as berries developed, and growers worked hard to monitor and manage their crops, reducing them where necessary. The weather warmed up again in February, and ripening sped up once more with flavours developing well leading in to harvest. Picking began on the 25th of February, with the first Sauvignon Blanc harvested on 17th March. Interestingly early picks were close to the same dates last year. However, this season was more spread out and stable weather and nice clean fruit meant Jules was able to take her time, harvesting blocks as they reached their peak flavours.
