Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc captures the vibrant spirit of Marlborough with precision, freshness, and expressive character. Crafted by one of New Zealand’s most respected producers, this wine celebrates the region’s maritime climate and mineral-rich soils. Each sip reveals the careful balance between ripe tropical fruit and the crisp acidity that defines great Sauvignon Blanc.

The grapes are sourced from selected vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere Valleys. These contrasting sites provide both richness and tension, ensuring remarkable complexity. Cool nights preserve freshness, while long sunny days encourage full flavour development. The resulting wine expresses both bright aromatics and a refined, textural palate.

Tasting Notes

The nose bursts with lifted notes of passionfruit, lime zest, and gooseberry. Subtle hints of fresh herbs, lemongrass, and blackcurrant leaf add intriguing layers. Gentle mineral tones provide a cool, stony backdrop that reflects the region’s alluvial soils. Every aroma feels precise and finely etched, inviting immediate tasting.

On the palate, Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc delivers clarity and drive. Juicy citrus and ripe stone fruit glide across the tongue with focused energy. The texture is silky yet vibrant, supported by mouth-watering acidity and a clean, dry finish. Flavours of grapefruit, white nectarine, and green capsicum linger beautifully, offering both intensity and finesse.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve purity, while a small portion rests on fine lees for added weight. This careful handling enhances mid-palate richness without dulling freshness. The finished wine feels both polished and authentically expressive of its origin.

Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc partners superbly with seafood, goat’s cheese, or grilled asparagus. It also shines as an aperitif, served chilled on warm evenings. This is a wine of balance, poise, and enduring appeal—an elegant showcase of Marlborough’s world-renowned style.
