Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2023

Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2023 lassical Marlborough with aromas of grapefruit, lemongrass and crushed herbs underscored with complexing hints of tropical fruits and gooseberry. Pure and concentrated with flavours of grapefruit, white peach, lemongrass and boxwood and citrus with oyster shell and saline notes promoting a focussed textural element.  Medium bodied, the palate is layered and dense yet retains elegance with a lingering precise finish. Whitehaven wine is made with 100% Marlborough sourced grapes for a distinctively bright & balanced style that has earned consistently high scores and made us the most awarded New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Sue White and her late husband, Greg, came to Marlborough over 20 years ago just as the earliest wineries began forging Marlborough's stellar winemaking reputation. Our winery is still family-owned and is led by Sue, who ensures the dedication of sourcing the fruit for this wine exclusively from Marlborough and certifying the wine with Appellation Marlborough Wine (AMW). At Whitehaven, an intergenerational journey to leave our planet and community better than we found it. As a family-owned wine company, they carry the torch of our intrepid founders who instilled in us a tremendous respect for the role as custodians of the land. It cultivate responsible practices endorsed by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand (SWNZ) that preserve, protect, and enhance our environment with a focus on biodiversity, land, and water. The result is exquisite, expressive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc that captures deep love for the land and sea.
