Wairau River Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

This is the wine judged best Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at the Marlborough Wine Show. In a region renowned for this distinctive varietal, it is a huge honour to have received the Trophy for Champion Sauvignon Blanc this vintage.  Our team have consistently upheld a reputation for excellence since our inaugural 1991 Sauvignon Blanc won the Trophy wine at the New Zealand Wine Awards.

It starts in our Estate vineyards, in the region famous for introducing elegant, cool climate New Zealand wines to the world.  Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop delicious acidity which balances the intense varietal characteristics of ripe grapefruit, white nectarine, and tropical fruits resulting in an elegant, refreshing, crisp flavoursome wine that distinctly says Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
