The Crossings Sauvignon Blanc — Awatere Valley, Marlborough 2024
The Crossings is the calling card of the Awatere Valley — and the 2024 vintage is a textbook expression of why this windswept sub-region of Marlborough produces Sauvignon Blanc of uncommon intensity. Sourced from vineyards shaped by cool nights, relentless sunshine, and stony river soils, the wine is fermented in stainless steel to preserve the vivid, aromatic purity that defines this style. Wine Enthusiast awarded it 88 points, calling it "poolside sipping right here." At $12.99, it is one of New Zealand's most honest overachievers.
The nose is immediate and expressive: pineapple, passionfruit, lime leaf, flowering herbs, and fresh-cut grass. On the palate, it is dry and focused with concentrated tropical fruit, bright citrusy acidity, and a pithy, mineral finish that lingers cleanly. It delivers the lively energy and precision that only Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc can achieve — and it is built to be enjoyed now.
Wine Enthusiast 88 (Christina Pickard) — "A perfume of pineapple, passionfruit, lime leaf and grass offers all the hallmarks of this boisterous, crowd-pleasing style. The palate is dry and pithy in texture with a big zing of citrusy acidity to the finish."
Producer: The Crossings, Awatere Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand
