Nuala Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Lime, Passionfruit

"Classic bouquet and palate filled with flavours of gooseberry and citrus, passionfruit and fresh green herbs with a vegetal capsicum idea. Crisp and just dry with persistent flavours carried throughout the palate via the acid line. Well made and fresh with best drinking from day of purchase through early 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2026

Fresh, zesty, juicy and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine, that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from.

It began strongly with excellent flowering, leading to the poten.al for an abundant crop come harvest .me. A classic Marlborough summer saw consistent days with no excessive heat and a slightly lower sunshine total than average. Light yet persistent rain events during berry maturation meant that focused vineyard management was essen.al to preserve healthy fruit for the harvest. This challenge was well met across the vineyards, resul.ng in beautifully clean fruit ready for a promising harvest.

Machine harvested fruit coming from two different sites in the Awatere valley and lower Wairau valley. Cool temperature fermentation (15°C) in stainless steel tank, followed by 6 months on fine lees before blending and bottling.

Food Pairing: We recommend serving this wine chilled and enjoying it on its own or alongside the last of the summer’s produce.
