Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2025 (375ml)

Marlborough has built its reputation on Sauvignon Blanc that arrives with bright acidity and herbaceous lift, and this 2025 from Whitehaven Wine Company works squarely in that tradition. Grown in New Zealand's South Island and bottled as a still white under screw cap, it sits at 13% alcohol. Whitehaven is a member of Appellation Marlborough Wine, and the fruit here is handled to keep things clean and unembellished.

The aromatics come on piercing and intense, all sweet lemon, green apple, lime, and a savory whiff of brine and crushed chalk. On the palate it stays pure and focused, with passion fruit and pineapple husk threading through a saline core, and acidity that rings out clear and cold. There's an attractive savory undertone too, balanced against the fruit, the kind of medium-bodied freshness that reads as both precise and seductive. Ready to enjoy now.
