The Sisters Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Description

Dry, Grapefruit, Passionfruit

"Upfront and instantly appealing, the wine shows crunchy apple, green rockmelon, kiwifruit, and lime peel aromas on the nose. It's succulent and lively in the mouth, offering splendid fruit intensity with a lengthy, exuberant finish. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2025

This Sauvignon Blanc delivers everything you’d hope for from this classic Marlborough varietal. Citrus and passionfruit aromatics leap from the glass and the palate has wonderful tropical, grapefruit and lime flavours balanced by fresh herbaceous notes. Juicy and succulent with a supple texture and good length of flavour, this wine has lovely balance and a refreshing, dry finish.

The 2024 vintage was a very good! Cool flowering meant a lower crop, but the warm and dry summer and autumn gave us ripe, flavoursome grapes with lovely concentration and balance.

We pick each of the Sauvignon Blanc vineyard blocks as the flavours reach their most intense and the grapes are fully ripe. The grapes for this wine offered excellent aromatics and delicious, concentrated flavours. After machine-harvesting in the cool of the early morning and carefully destemming and pressing, the free run and lightly pressed juice was cold settled for 48 hours. It was then racked and inoculated with a selected yeast strain to maintain the wine’s fresh and fruity characters. The wine was held on lees prior to blending and bottling.

Food Pairing: Anytime you feel like a glass of uplifting, fresh white wine! The quality and style mean that it can be enjoyed anytime over the next few years but it’s really a wine designed to celebrate the here and now. Serve chilled. Although ideal as a refreshing glass of wine on its own, this Sauvignon Blanc is perfect paired with seafood, salads, Asian-inspired flavours and much more.
