Marlborough Estate Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Blackcurrant, Dry, Gooseberry

"Upfront and inviting, the bouquet presents aromas of pineapple, green apple, and lemon zest. The palate is equally appealing with excellent vibrancy backed by juicy acidity, making it highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is full, packed with aromas of passionfruit, guava, jalapeno and blackcurrant leaf. Medium-bodied, aromas of passionfruit and guava are mouthfilling, entwined with blackcurrant leaf and jalapeno. The fruit shows concentration and a hint of salinity, flows effortlessly with fine-textured phenolics to a crisp, long finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Aug 2025

"Fleshy, fruity, ripe and tropical with flavours of fresh green mango and passionfruit, then apple and citrus. There’s an herbaceous quality and light saline suggestion. Crisp and just dry, balanced and well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Fresh and bright, just like you'd expect from Marlborough. On the nose, it's super aromatic with a mix of black currant bud, juicy white stonefruit, and classic gooseberry, all wrapped up in a citrus lift.  The palate is crisp and refreshing, with flavours of white currant and ripe nashi pear coming through. It has a nice roundness to it—not too sharp—balanced by a mineral character that keeps things interesting. It’s off-dry, so there’s just a hint of softness on the finish, but overall it’s clean and bright. You can enjoy this now, but it’ll also hold up nicely for the next 2–3 years if you prefer a little more complexity down the line.

The grapes were machine harvested in the cool of early morning and fermented in stainless steel tanks to lock in all that fresh, vibrant flavour.
