Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc is a meticulously made wine with grapes selected for intensity and concentration. The bouquet shows passionfruit and white peach aromas and the palate has ripe fruit flavours with mineral notes. Always one of our favourites.

Dr Forrest and his wife Brigid (also a doctor) use techniques in the vineyard to allow the grapes to obtain maximum flavour, but keep sugar (and therefore alcohol) levels down. No fancy winery or laboratory tricks – just some very clever canopy management and timing as to when they pick. This delicious lower alcohol (9.5%) Rosé melds Pinot Noir with the white grape Arneis to create a delightfully fresh and lively pink, bursting with fresh strawberries, ripe red cherry, and just a hint of aromatic herbs like sage and thyme.

Pour yourself a glass of River Terrace Sauvignon blanc. It’s brimming with bright tropical fruit, Passionfruit and zesty citrus flavours, with a mouth-watering finish, we think you’ll love it.Over thousands of years, the Marlborough landscape has been shaped by rivers as they carve a pathway to the sea. Ancient riverbeds have created floodplains and elevated terraces, a unique geology that combines with climate to create a grape-growing paradise. Our four estate vineyards are planted on river terraces bound by water, the ebb and flow or the seasons have deposited free-draining alluvial soils that our vines thrive in. ‘Gorgeously aromatic and inviting, the bouquet shows feijoa, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and lemon peel aromas, leading to a delectably expressed palate offering terrific fruit power and purity. Wonderfully flavoursome and highly appealing. At its best: now to 2023’ – 94 Points
