Whalebone Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Description

Dry, Lychee, Peach

"It's brightly fruited and enticing on the nose, with aromas of kiwifruit, crunchy apple, pineapple, and lime peel. The palate is equally appealing with excellent fruit intensity, backed by juicy acidity, finishing long and flavoursome. At its best: now to 2027" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2025

"Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is fresh, with aromas of apple, fennel, passionfruit and herbs. Medium-light bodied, dry to taste, with aromas of apple and lime that have a taut core, melded with passionfruit and fresh herbs. The invigorating acidity carries a dry palate with subtle apple-skin-like phenolics, lending a crisp, thirst-quenching finish" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Jul 2025

"Aromas and flavours of lime and passionfruit, melon and kiwifruit. Crisp and lively on the palate with plenty of acidity then flavours of lemon and grapefruit, some tropical fruits and moderate herbaceous level. Over a nice wine, ready to drink from day of purchase through 2027" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Bright and expressive, this Sauvignon Blanc opens with aromatic layers of cassis, lemon twist, and green bell pepper. The palate is vibrant and zesty, with juicy peach and lychee flavours, balanced by a crisp line of acidity and subtle minerality that leaves a clean, lingering finish.

Sourced from select Marlborough vineyards, the 2025 fruit benefited from a sunny growing season, delivering intense tropical character.

Machine harvested and cool-fermented in stainless steel, each parcel was handled to preserve freshness before being blended, fined, and bottled.
