Description

Southern Dawn Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, South island, New Zealand, 2025

Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked

Producer Tasting Note:

The fruit for this wine comes from The Wine Portfolio's Marlborough vineyards located in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys of the Marlborough district. The fruit was pressed off the skins soon after harvest in Marlborough, with the juice then being transported to Katikati for fermentation. Select yeasts are used, which combined to contribute to the aromatic complexity of the wine. It is herbaceous and grassy and shows notes of pineapple and passion fruit with some limey acidity to finish.

Critic's Tasting Note:

"Aromas and flavours of apples and lemon, some grapefruit and sea-breeze cocktail qualities with a sea-spray and green pear idea. Dry, fruity, crisp, some tropical fruit layers, balanced and well made with a nice palate squeeze. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2027."

90/100 points, Cameron Douglas MS, September 2025

Food Match: Seafood (oysters with a passion fruit mignonette, or squid in a garlic & citrus marinade), Thai-style chicken salad, pasta primavera, Greek feta salad, asparagus
