Intensely aromatic and vibrant, the 2024 Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc captures the hallmark style of Marlborough at full throttle. Bursting with passionfruit, lime, gooseberry, and fresh-cut herbs, the nose is punchy and immediate. The palate delivers explosive flavour with zesty citrus, tropical fruit, and a streak of minerality that adds drive and precision. Juicy acidity keeps it energetic and mouth-watering, finishing crisp and clean with a touch of saline edge. A classic New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, expressive and refreshing—perfect with oysters, goat cheese, or Thai salads. Bold, bright, and unapologetically varietal.
Every wine is scored out of 100 under the Winetrust Scoring System: Flavour 50 (nose 15, palate 25, finish 10), Structure 25, Balance & Harmony 15, Presentation 10. Totals are computed, never hand-entered.
Two bottles minimum, tasted on separate occasions by a named reviewer, unblind — and disclosed. Gifted samples are declared. Price never touches the score — value is rated separately. Nothing below 87 is listed, and key wines are re-tasted at twelve months with their score history preserved.
