The 2025 Estate Sauvignon Blanc comes from estate vineyards in the Bridge Pā Triangle, Dartmoor and Havelock Hills, where the warm climate and free-draining soils help shape ripe fruit balanced by fresh acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winery’s tasting note describes a brilliant pale gold wine with lifted aromas of lime, blackcurrant, gooseberry, fennel, guava and passionfruit. The palate carries that citrus and tropical character through a creamy mid-palate, mouth-watering freshness and a long, balanced finish. Serve chilled with oysters, grilled fish or fresh goat cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eTe Mata reports that the grapes were chilled and gently pressed, with the juice cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the variety’s aromatics and flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eExpert Reviews · 2025 Vintage\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2025 Estate Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc leads with notes of cassis, white currant and passion fruit, alongside hints of white pineapple and yellow guava. A highly detailed approach to viticulture at Te Mata enables smaller, more selective harvest picks, contributing to the precision and detail evident in the finished wine. The palate here is soft and textural yet also restrained and persistent, with impressive length and a distinctly mouthwatering acidity. Fermentation was managed with approximately 200 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units) retained in tank, while different yeast strains were employed across individual vineyard blocks to enhance complexity and site expression. This is very good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Parker's Wine Advocate · 94 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAromas of melon, pears and lotus flowers follow through to a medium body with crunchy fruit and a crisp and delicious finish.

Unlike many Marlborough SBs, which contain a small amount of sugar, this is fermented totally dry, with a rush of lemony acidity and some subtle textural weight beneath. It’s both classic and characterful, a carefully made bottle from one of NZ’s most historic producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast · 93 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWine Details\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: Te Mata Estate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppellation: Hawke's Bay, New Zealand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage: 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrape: Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlcohol: 12.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: Screwcap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"67Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48995612524827,"sku":"210000057650","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0694\/1789\/4171\/files\/iv4f2vkqpokslsfugouk.jpg?v=1774880677","url":"https:\/\/67wine.com\/products\/te-mata-estate-new-zealand-sauvignon-blanc-2024-750ml","provider":"67","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
