Made by Vigneron of the Year NZ 2025: The wine is a carefully curated blend from two distinct sub-regions, capturing the best of Marlborough. Combining the restrained structure of the Awatere with the fleshy, tropical stone-fruit notes of the Wairau, this wine offers incredible complexity. With 18% barrel fermentation and extended time on fine lees, it delivers a soft, multi-layered palate of guava, lemongrass, and ripe passionfruit. A world-class, dry style that balances juicy acidity with a sophisticated mineral finish.

TWR Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Tasting Note

This 2025 release shows distinctive Awatere characters of white currant, elderflower, with guava and lemongrass, coupled with lovely ripe passionfruit & tropical notes and hints of basil and lime from the Wairau. These follow through to the palate which is fine and soft with loads of fleshy fruit balanced by a ripe, juicy acidity and lingering minerality. There is real fruit weight here and that is complimented by lovely texture from the time on lees and the barrel parcels - It is utterly delicious!

94/100

Pungent and fruity, varietal and precise with a seam of elegance and hold, there’s a floral quality just before the mineral wet pebbles and fresh green herb scents start to invade the senses. A dry wine with a backbone of acidity, flavours of cape gooseberry and peach, grapefruit and lime. Delicious and precise, lengthy, sea spray cool stone tension. Best drinking from late 2026 through 2030+.

92/100

Lemon sherbet and hints of lemongrass with flint aromas follow through to a medium-bodied wine with tangy fruit and a stony finish. Very minerally.


Additional information

Type: White wine

Grape variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc

Food match: Seafood, particularly oysters or lightly seared scallops. Spanner crab, wild onion, macadamia, smoked daikon, tofu.

Vineyard: This 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend from two specially selected vineyards in two different sub-regions of Marlborough. One of the vineyards is in the Wairau valley - Te Whare Ra (35%) and the other is in the upper Awatere Valley - Shamrock (65%). The growing conditions in the Awatere are characterised by cooler temperatures and slower ripening, which is all important for flavour development and ripe acidity. The Wairau experiences warmer days, longer sunshine hours and a bigger diurnal range. These climatic differences result in wines which have lovely fleshiness and texture, and which are characterised by riper tropicals and stone-fruit with a lovely line of minerality.

Winemaking: The larger parcels of fruit for this wine were select machine picked and the home block portion was all hand-picked and hand-sorted. The free-run and soft pressings parcels were combined for fermentation. The majority of the parcels underwent slow, cool fermentation in stainless, with 18% of the blend fermented at warmer temps in older French oak demi-muids. All parcels spent time on fine lees, post ferment for texture. This wine has not been fined and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians and anyone else who loves authentic, hand-made wines.
