This is a strong, classically styled bottling by Marlborough stalwart Jules Taylor. A heady combo of pineapple, passionfruit and grass is underscored by dried herbs. It flows to a palate that’s crisp, dry and peachy right to the finish. Easy sipping with lovely balance, tension and textural weight for food friendliness.

The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is ripe and rounded with well-balanced acidity that refreshes but doesn’t dominate the wine, allowing the fruit to shine. Expect mango, passion fruit and nectarine-like fruit flavors with a gourmand texture on the medium-length finish. Enjoy this in youth for its fleshy fruit and freshness.
