Nuala Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Floral, Oak, Peach

"Complex, and enticing, the bouquet presents notes of apricot, Granny Smith apple, oatmeal, and cedar. It’s concentrated and richly textured in the mouth, delivering an expansive mouthfeel, backed by beautifully integrated acidity, making it flavoursome and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2030" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Complex and very enticing with a definitive bouquet of cape gooseberry and peach, red apple and a light oak ferment or ageing quality adding depth and breadth to both the nose of the wine and palate. A satin-cream touch with a backbone of acidity, flavours reflect the bouquet with a mineral and clay quality, fine lees and saline topline. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2026

"Gooseberries and grapefruit are complemented by a fresh herbal note. The palate is medium to full-bodied featuring bright acidity and a generous volume of fruit. Drink now" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

Notes of white flowers, summer stone fruit and preserved citrus on the nose. Textured. with layers of white peach and white flowers with mineral characters and subtle toast notes. A freshening acidity underpins this dense and enticing palate, leading to a long and elegant finish.

The Marlborough 2024 harvest has seen exceptional conditions, resul.ng in high-quality grapes across the region. A mild spring, an excellent flowering period, and a warm, dry summer contributed to optimal vine health and fruit development, allowing for a smooth harves.ng period and excellent acid retention in the grapes. This ideal combination of marking the vintage as outstanding. Overall, the 2024 vintage is anticipated to be one of the best in recent years, showcasing Marlborough’s renowned terroir and viticultural expertise.

Hand-picked fruit coming from a single vineyard in the Wairau valley. Whole bunch pressed and cold settled over night before undergoing par.al fermentation in oak barrels and stainless-steel tank, using wild indigenous yeast. aged on lees in French oak barrels and foudres for 10 months before blending and bottling.

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