Villa Maria Sauvignon Blanc Private Bin Marlborough 2023 750ml
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023
James Suckling writes: Lots of passion fruit, guava and grapefruit on the nose. Bright, tropical and balanced, with medium body and a juicy, fruity finish. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap. - James Suckling 90
Tamlyn Currin writes: For a wine that is presumably made in vast quantities and in the most technical way possibly, this is surprisingly good. Full of bodacious tropical fruit. Mangoes and oranges with a little bit of grapefruit and sweet fennel. The balance of fruit and acidity is great, and it certainly tastes and feels more full-bodied than 12.5%. It's generous, friendly and appealing. I really can't fault it! - Jancis Robinson 16
MaryAnn Worobiec writes: A vibrant version, showing a mix of pineapple, mango and passion fruit flavors that is direct and mouthwatering, with touches of ginger and green tea on the finish. Drink now. - Wine Spectator
Erin Larkin writes: The 2023 Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc is a behemoth in the export market, and it delivers a pretty archetypal “Marlborough Sauvy” experience—crunchy, herbal, green, tropical and juicy. All good things in this context. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Roger Jones, Freddy Bulmer, Cat Lomax writes: Delicate mineral notes with a mixture of passionfruit and meadow grass aromas. Citrus fruit, butterscotch, stone fruit, white peaches and nectarine. - Decanter
Winemaker Description
This is the Sauvignon Blanc that put Villa Maria on the world map. A blend of both Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys our winemakers take great care to ensure this wine showcases exceptional balance and consistency every vintage. The room-filling aromatics and strikingly crisp character of our Private Bin Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are why it is so popular and such a memorable experience.
A perfect aperitif wine, serve chilled on warm summer days. Fresh herbal flavors match well with most salads, whereas the riper tropical flavors match well with any fish recipes.

Whitehaven Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2023
Raymond Chan 93 Points | Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is fresh, packed with gooseberry, passionfruit, green capsicum, lime and blossom aromas. Medium-bodied, aromas of passionfruit lead the palate with lime, gooseberry, unfolding capsicum, green herb and delicate blossom. The fruit is vibrant with zingy acidity, carries lovely fruit weight and length. Match with steamed clams and battered sole fillet over the next 2-3 years. Fermented to 12.9% alc, 2.4g/l RS.
Erin Larkin writes: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is bright and tropical, with green apple and kiwi fruit, lemon pith and finger lime. Plenty of light and juicy things to be getting on with here.

Drinking 2024 to 2026. - Vinous 87
James Suckling writes: Aromas of green melon, green apples and some lemon rind follow through to a medium body with fresh fruit and a simple finish. Clean and easy. Drink now. Screw cap. - James Suckling 87

Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough Organic 2023 750ml
Our Professional Review
Bart Hopkins of 67Wine.com | Dog Point Vineyard is the largest certified organic wine estate in New Zealand. This Sauvignon Blanc is bright and delicious, with fresh lively flavors in a refreshing, easy sipping style. In the glass, key lime, granny smith apple, kiwi and white peach flavors grace the palate playfully with perfectly balanced acidity offering lift and a pleasant zip to the finish. Crisp and very pleasant, perfect for seafood and salads.
Expert Review - Vintage 2023
Rebecca Gibb MW writes: Initially the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc needs a few moments to get itself together – much like we all do after waking up from our slumber. It wears a rather reductive overcoat, but under that flintiness you find concentrated, pure fruit flavors. It’s light in body but dense in concentration thanks to low yields, displaying both focus and punch. It's almost silvery in color and restrained thanks to hand-picking, leading to pure grapefruit and passion fruit flavors alongside a hint of nectarine. The finish is long, precise and sinewy. Drinking 2024 - 2028. - Vinous 93
James Suckling writes: Clean and crisp with grapefruit, green melon and lemon character. Hints of stones. Medium body. Lovely acidity and a delicious finish. Some phenolic tension here. From organically grown grapes. Drink now. Screw cap. - James Suckling 92
Julia Harding MW writes: Intensely aromatic and characteristically smoky, with marked reduction, a style that Dog Point have mastered so brilliantly. That smokiness is notable yet not excessive even if it is highly stylised. Behind the struck match is vibrant grapefruit and pear, immense depth and remarkable complexity for a young, unoaked white. Chewy texture and low pH make this a mouth-watering and persistent dry wine that is obviously Sauvignon Blanc but not just Sauvignon Blanc, and with better likely ageing capacity than most NZ SBs. Excellent purity and precision. I find this unspittable and feel sure it will be even better after another year in bottle. Drinking 2024 to 2027. - Jancis Robinson 17.5
MaryAnn Worobiec writes: Lush and expressive, with plenty of concentration to the mix of mango, lemon curd and litsea oil flavors. Details of dried pineapple, candied ginger and crystalized orange zest add complexity and aromatics on the long finish. Drink now. - Wine Spectator 94
Roger Jones, Freddy Bulmer, Cat Lomax write: Matchstick reduction on the nose with layers of pink grapefruit pith and citrus oil. Mineral complexity with good intensity. Ambitious winemaking, perhaps, with time in the bottle, this wine will mellow and come together. - Decanter Magazine
Winemaker Description
Pale straw. Pure and bright perfume with aromatics of grapefruit and white peach. Subtle smoke and gravelly tones layered over this create a complexity beyond the immediate fruit profile. Juicy, plush, white fleshed fruit pour across the palate with a refreshing and defined acidity balancing the sunny fruit profile, finishing clean and dry. Drinks beautifully now or can comfortably be cellared for five years or more.



Craggy Range Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna Road Vineyard 2023 750ml
Winemaker Description
In appearance, it’s a pale yellow, straw color. On the nose there are ripe Sauvignon Blanc aromatics with notes of white stone fruit, passion fruit pulp and kaffir lime. The palate is lively with deep concentration and a salinic acidity.
This wine will pair well with aperitifs, seafood and poultry.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2023
Wine Spectator 94 Points | One of the most impressive Sauvignon Blancs from New Zealand is this single-vineyard planting. Unlike the vast majority of Kiwi Sauvignon Blancs, which hail from the Marlborough region at the northern tip of the South Island, Te Muna is located in Martinborough, at the southern tip of the North Island. The region’s cool climate and intense winds have been optimal for producing muscular Pinot Noirs, yet it turns out these conditions are ideal for Sauvignon Blanc as well, with the grapes’ thick, wind-blown skins adding intensity to the wines. Te Muna is divided into two dramatic terraces, with Pinot Noir growing in the decomposing soils of the upper terrace. But the greywacke stones and limestone on the lower terrace make a better match for Sauvignon Blanc. Since Craggy Range was founded by Terry and Mary Peabody in 1998, the quality of its distinctive wines has only become more impressive. A 1,000-year family trust shows how committed they are to the business. 72,000 cases imported.—MaryAnn Worobiec
Decanter Magazine (90 Pts) : Fresh and precise, with lime, mango and passion fruit notes that are accented by crunchy sea salt, litsea oil, dried chamomile and fresh lemon zest on a mouthwatering, fleshy frame. - : Family-owned winery Craggy Range has an excellent reputation, and its entry-level Sauvignon Blanc shows a lovely purity and balance. The Martinborough region, at the southern tip of New Zealand's North Island, is a minor player size wise compared to the juggernaut that is Marlborough, but its wines are often more restrained in style. This elegant expression shows a lovely purity of gooseberry, blackcurrant leaf and lime fruit, with added weight from partial, short ageing in French oak.
Rebecca Gibb MW of Vinous writes: The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Te Muna Road probably won't be one for the history books. Modest in concentration and a little fleeting after what was a difficult season, it’s nonetheless attractive, clean and restrained. The 2023 is a less fragrant expression, with modest intensity of apple and pineapple, peach and citrus. Enjoy its dry, acid-driven tension in youth.



Astrolabe Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024 750ml
Expert Review - Vintage 2024
The Wine Advocate 91 Points | The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc leads with the typically leafy, green-gauge nose of coriander, crushed sea shells, green apple and brine. In the mouth, the wine is intensely tropical but tempered by a maritime freshness and levity through the finish. It's a breath of fresh air, this wine. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
Winemaker Description
Pale straw color with green highlights. Powerful gooseberry, white currant, red capsicum, passionfruit and lime peel aromas. Medium-bodied, with strong flavors of makrut lime, passionfruit, lemongrass and a refreshingly smooth, dry and persistent finish.


Greywacke Sauvignon Blanc Wairau Valley Marlborough 2024 750ml
Winemaker Description
Deliciously aromatic with scents of honeydew melon and orange blossom, delicately infused with herb garden botanicals. A bright, seasonal expression, with juicy lemon and steely cassis flavours and a generously textured palate garnished with a flourish of pastis and wildflowers. A wine with impressive structure and depth, this is Marlborough sauvignon blanc with the volume turned down a notch.
Harvested largely by machine during cool (often cold) night-time conditions, the fruit was picked earlier than normal at high sugar levels over a 3-week period, commencing 16 March. Transported directly to our winery in the Omaka Valley, fruit was lightly pressed to yield a modest volume of high-quality juice. The juice was cold-settled and racked prior to fermentation, which was primarily carried out in stainless steel tanks with cultured yeast. All individual vineyard batches were left on lees until late June, when the blend was assembled.


Frenzy Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024 750ml
Winemaker Description
Frenzy is produced from a carefully made blend of the best fruit from selected vineyards, which are all ideally suited to the Sauvignon Blanc varietal. Winemaking is completed at cool temperatures to ensure purity of fruit and the essence of the region’s terroir are expressed in the most genuine style.
This is an elegant wine with intense tropical and stone fruit aromatics with delicate citrus and floral notes, full flavored and textured. The wine has fine mouthwatering mineral acidity on the finish that refreshes the palate, leaving you longing for more.



Tapi Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 750ml

An enticing mélange of citrus, peach and passion fruit jumps from the glass with energetic intensity and mouthwatering vibrancy. Perfectly balanced and thirst quenching, with cleansing acidity on the highly refreshing finish that makes this a delicious match to easy food pairings. Especially good with spicy cuisine and seafood dishes.

Cupcake Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml
Winemaker Description
This Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, crisp wine that comes from vineyards in the South Island of New Zealand, where the cool growing season allows our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity.
Flavors of Meyer lemon, white nectarine and key lime integrate with subtle hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating into a long, balanced finish. Pair oysters on the half shell, creamy lobster risotto or a picnic in the park.


Brancott Estate Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2023 750ml

Villa Maria Pinot Noir Private Bin Marlborough 2021 750ml
Winemaker Description
A fruit driven style of Pinot Noir with a lively personality, this wine expresses an abundance of red cherries on the nose, along with baking spices such as clove and cinnamon.

A great match with all seafood, particularly shellfish. The crisp flavours work well with fresh summer salads or soft goat cheese. Winemaker Description.
Expert Review - Vintage 2023
Christina Pickard of the Wine Enthusiast writes 87 Points | A classic combo of dried green herb, bell pepper, passion fruit and lime aromas marches to a dry, fruity and crisp palate that's a little shrill but quenches thirst nonetheless.
The Wine Spectator 88 Points | Smooth and succulent, with peach, lime and lemon zest notes that are mouthwatering. Finishes on a note of Key lime pie. Drink now. 8,000 cases made, 3,000 cases imported.
The Wine Advocate 90 Points | The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers us an uncomplicated display of tropical fruits, pert acidity and gently chalky phenolics through the finish. Everything is in place here. It would be hard to imagine a more "Marlborough-tasting" Sauvignon Blanc. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.



Ant Moore Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2023 750ml
Winemaker Description
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is almost always what people have in mind when this classic grape gets lauded or derided. For the LWLs of the world (Ladies Who Lunch), this is the beverage of choice. Those who love it, LOVE it and the haters hate it for the same reasons. Anthony ‘Ant’ Moore’s Sauvignon Blanc is like an olive branch to both sides. Originally an Aussie, he moved to Marlborough on the South Island in the early 2000s and was hooked. He uses a French approach (old oak barrels and extended lees aging) to balance that searing acidity typical of NZ Sauvignon Blanc and curb some of the typical ‘greenness’. The result is a veritable fruit basket of tropical proportions. Kiwi, pineapple, spearmint, and crunchy apple. Pair with any sunny moment or crunchy salad.
Expert Reviews
Wine Spectator 92 Points | Vibrant, juicy and wonderfully intense, showing off fleshy notes of passion fruit, mango and citrus, with mouthwatering acidity and a touch of saline and lemongrass on the finish. Drink now.


Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2024 750ml
Winemaker Description
Marlborough’s 2024 harvest was dominated by dry, windy weather, super clean fruit and delicious flavours. The season in Marlborough was marked by the change from the La Nina weather patterns of the last two years to a strong El Nino.
Our 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend from multiple vineyard sites throughout Marlborough, with a portion from the Awatere Valley and the balance from the Wairau Valley. Grapes were crushed and destemmed prior to pressing and fermentation was induced by the introduction of carefully selected yeast strains. We fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to preserve the lifted aromatics in this wine.

Felton Road Pinot Noir Bannockburn Central Otago NZ Biodynamic 2021 750ml
Winemaker Description
A classic Felton Road nose of dark blossoms: rose and violet with a compote of dark fruits. The mid-palate is just screaming Felton Road. Black cherries and cream on the nose introduced cherry crumble on the palate with baked spices. Very harmonious for a wine so young, but a brooding undertow reveals the intrinsic power of the wine. Four Bannockburn vineyards seamlessly integrating to provide many layers and textures.
Expert Reviews - Vintage 2021
James Suckling 93 Points | Very attractive hibiscus with sliced strawberries and orange peel aromas that follow through to a medium body with very fine tannins and a fresh and clean wine. Tangy and succulent fruit. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold. Screw cap. (2021).
Jancis Robinson 16.5/20 Points | Earthy and interesting on the nose. Already open and sweet but with good structure. Great for current drinking, with real interest and freshness. At the moment I prefer this to Block 3. (2021).
Vinous 91 Points | The 2021 Pinot Noir Bannockburn offers fine tension and sinew. I rather like it for being understated and having a corset of acidity and tannic tension around it. Sour red cherry, damson, wild herbs, a twist of nutmeg and it's all rather pleasing. Long, scented and excellent value with praiseworthy tannin quality. (2021).
Decanter 92 Points | A hint of smokiness and toast appears first, still with the echo of slight reduction. The fine web of tannins on the palate holds oak as well as surprisingly dark fruit. Very juicy, fruity and bold, this is Felton Road's estate Pinot Noir, with just 25% new oak. Drinking 2022 - 2032 (2021).


Giesen Low Alcohol Pure Light Sauvignon Blanc 750ml

Crisp and refreshing, expect pure tropical fruit and citrus flavors with nuances of freshly cut herbs from this wonderfully balanced, lighter-in-alcohol Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

After blending, some of the alcohol was gently removed from the wine using spinning cone technology to give a full- flavoured 6% alc./ vol. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that’s deliciously fresh, with 50% lower alcohol and 45% less calories compared to 12.5% alc./vol. wine.
