Marlborough gives Sauvignon Blanc its bright acidity and herbaceous lift, and this bottling from Whitehaven Wine Company works squarely in that New Zealand idiom, a still white built around crisp, zesty fruit from the 2026 vintage.

The 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is piercing and intense, laden with juicy, sweet lemon, green apple and brine. On the palate, the wine is pure and pristine, focused and saline, with a slew of passion fruit and pineapple husk. The acidity is like a bell tolling on a cold morning. There are some attractive savory elements here too. It's excellent. Whitehaven is a member of the Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW). 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap. (Wine Advocate, April 2026)
This has a clean, mineral nose with fresh limes, green guavas, sliced apples and crushed chalk. Very pretty and balanced with medium body and clean acidity. Flavorful and seductive. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap. (James Suckling, October 2025)
