Wishbone Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Description

Dry, Melon, Passionfruit

"An attractive bouquet of fresh tree fruit and some lees, some jalapeno and ripe tomato leaf, herb and apple then some tropical fruit tones. Some mineral and salty wet stone scents add a layer of depth. Crisp and dry, plenty of acidity and mouthfeel driven by the acid line and citrus peel then white peach flavours. Well made with moderate length and power" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommellier

"The inviting bouquet showcases passionfruit, grapefruit, green rockmelon, and herbaceous aromas. It's splendidly flavoursome in the mouth with bright fruit intensity and juicy acidity, making it delightfully appealing" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Vibrant and fruit-driven, this Sauvignon Blanc is a vivid expression of Marlborough’s character. Sourced from select vineyard sites, it opens with an aromatic burst of passionfruit, ripe melon, and lifted notes of kaffir lime leaf. The palate is equally expressive and refined, unfolding with layers of green papaya, starfruit, and lychee, all framed by bright, refreshing acidity. A clean, precise finish carries the wine’s zesty energy, leaving a lasting impression of purity and balance. Food Pairing: A natural partner to Thai green chicken curry, where its bright acidity and citrus lift complement the dish’s vibrant spice. Enjoy now or cellar for up to three years to allow further development.
