W5 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Feijoa, Passionfruit

"It's powerfully expressed on the nose, showing kiwifruit, feijoa, nectarine, and kaffir lime aromas. The concentrated palate delivers awesome fruit intensity with fleshy texture and beautifully pitched acidity, making it hugely appealing. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is softly full, with aromas of citrus, passionfruit and nettle. Medium-bodied, aromas of passionfruit, lime and grapefruit entwined with nettle and white spice. The fruit exhibits good depth of flavour, with ripe acidity providing a smooth flow and citrusy details, along with spice, to a lingering finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2025

"A classic bouquet and palate of passionfruit and lemon, green apple and mango. Crisp, dry, very fruity with lots of power and energy, salivating acid line and plenty of finish. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Bursting with vibrant aromas of tropical passionfruit, ripe papaya, and a hint of fresh herbs, this Sauvignon Blanc doesn’t hold back. The palate delivers a lively mix of gooseberry, blackcurrant bud, and guava, layered with herbaceous notes and a crisp wet stone minerality that brings length and intensity.

The grapes were carefully selected from premium vineyard sites across Marlborough. To preserve the bright, fresh character of the fruit, they were swiftly transported to the winery, pressed off the skins with minimal contact, and fermented in stainless steel, locking in those lifted aromatics and pure varietal expression.

Food Pairing: Delicious on its own, or even better alongside seared tuna with soy and red chili. A wine made to be enjoyed immediately or over the next three years.
