2025 Whitehaven "Select" Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand - 750ML

Whitehaven’s “Select” Sauvignon Blanc delivers the vivid fruit and brisk freshness that define Marlborough’s distinctive expression of the variety. The 2025 vintage offers an energetic combination of citrus, tropical fruit and savory herbal character, making this an immediately appealing New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

Blend: Sauvignon Blanc.

Tasting Notes: Grapefruit, passion fruit and white peach lead the aromatics, joined by lime, lemongrass and fresh herbal notes. The palate is bright and juicy, with citrus and tropical fruit carried by mouthwatering acidity toward a clean, lightly saline finish.

Structure: Medium-bodied and vibrant, with crisp acidity providing focus to the generous fruit. Citrus and herbal notes add definition, while the dry, refreshing finish keeps the wine lively and precise.

Drink Window: Now–2028. Best enjoyed while its fresh aromatics and energetic fruit remain prominent, although the wine has sufficient acidity and concentration for short-term cellaring.

Decanting: No decanting is necessary. Serve lightly chilled rather than ice-cold, allowing a few minutes in the glass for its citrus, tropical and herbal character to become fully expressive.

A versatile choice for aperitifs and relaxed entertaining, this Sauvignon Blanc is equally at home alongside fresh seafood, oysters, sushi, summer salads or lighter poultry dishes. Its combination of expressive fruit, crisp acidity and refreshing finish captures the approachable, food-friendly side of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
