Brightwater is from a tiny family estate our Buyer first visited in 2002, having noticed that famous Aussie wine writer James Halliday had reviewed their Sauvignon above Cloudy Bay. Their 2009 was also rated as 5 Stars by top Kiwi wine critic Bob Campbell MW. A classic match with goat's cheese, it's also just the ticket with seafood, especially oysters. Alternatively, enjoy as a refreshing glass on its own.

This stunning wine is named after the landmark Split Apple Rock in Abel Tasman National Park, where Hermann Seifried built a winery in 1973 with the help of his local church. He'd only arrived in New Zealand three years earlier from Austria, via Germany (where he studied winemaking) and South Africa. He married Kiwi lass Agnes Wilkins, and two years later they realised their shared dream of growing grapes. 1976 was their maiden vintage and more than 30 years on the Seifrieds are still going strong and racking up a host of awards. Gooseberry fresh Split Rock slips down a treat on its own and partners dishes such as spicy prawns, grilled chicken or creamy pasta.

The journey for the Rapaura Springs wines begins far from the vineyards where the earth claims a share of the Wairau River. After a six month journey, the water is released to a spring that weaves through the vineyard, and provides the crystal clear, pure water for the vines. It also informs Rapura Springs' philosophy that quality begins in the vineyard. They took out top honour in 2015, recognised at the London international Wine & Spirits Competition as the Best Sauvignon Blanc Producer and NZ Winemaker of the Year. With classic tropical notes as well as citrus and fresh herbs on the pallet, the Rapaura Springs Sauvignon Blanc combines complexity and structure with clean cut acidity, providing an exceptional premium style at an affordable price point.

Native & Ancient explores the interaction between microbiology and human intervention, of man and nature, through a series of natural wines. The grapes for this wine are organically farmed Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Block 4 on the Isabel Estate Vineyard. The wine style, Pet Nat or Petillant Naturel translates to naturally sparkling and is achieved by bottling the wine while it is still fermenting. The wine is made in as natural a way as possible, harking back to ancient winemaking techniques, it is unfined and unfiltered with no added sulphites. A great way to kick off your weekend BBQ, refreshing, lightly sparkling, lots of ripe tropical fruit. A real fruit salad of flavours followed by a textural slightly biscuity finish. Delicious.

Jules Taylor is one of the leading boutique producers in Marlborough and well worth seeking out, crafting an exceptional range of aromatic whites together with Pinot Noir. It's little surprise that her Sauvignon Blanc shines, with its pristine and delicate mineral drive backed up with some fresh green herb and tropical notes. Crisp, dry and very Moorish.

Our Sauvignon Blanc from the Blind River region brings ripe citrus aromas melded with tropical fruits. Laden with juicy rock melon, vibrant stone fruits and a fresh blackcurrant leaf aspect, this wine has a long vibrant finish.

Catalina Sounds is a truly classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc! Think back back to the early days when Kiwi Savvy was just starting to hit our shelves and how gob-smacked we were over the quality, vibrancy and sheer drinkability of such an aromatic wine. Catalina Sounds still exudes all of those fantastic qualities that we all fell in love with. Perfumed aromas of gooseberry with hints of tropical fruit, the palate follows with fresh and zingy characters that display ripe passionfruit and citrus flavours all complimented by lingering acidity.

Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc is among the leaders of Sauvignon Blanc due to its quality and consistency vintage after vintage. Oyster Bay Sauv Blanc has excellent balance and varietal intensity.
