Yealand Estate Sauvignon Blanc

This wine shows flavours of white passionfruit skin and blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate displays good weight and texture, with a focused mineral acidity which delivers fantastic length to the wine.

From one of the cooler parts of Marlborough, this has lifted tropical fruits, and plenty of crisp refreshing lime, with a lightly mineral streak peeking through. John Wilson, The Irish Times

Based in the Awatere to the south east of Marlborough��s Wairau Plains, Yealands Estate encompasses 1,000 hectares of viticultural land (with 500 hectares currently under vine) in the rolling downs of the Awatere Valley, with smaller vineyard blocks near Blenheim. Yealands Estate is the largest vineyard in private ownership in New Zealand and founder Peter Yealands is renowned for his innovative vineyard management techniques and technologies. The winery is Carbon Neutral and the first to be built entirely under the New Zealand Green Building Council's accreditation programme, while the vineyard is sustainably managed. This approach in both the winery and the vineyard is rare in such a large operation.
