Sauvignon Blanc
Tiraki Sauvignon Blanc. A true expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Bursting with passionfruit, guava and lemon zest. The palate shows hints of wild nettle, tropical fruits and a lingering mineral finish.
Passionfruit, guava, peach, grapefruit and melon aromas make this a concentrated and classy Sauvignon Blanc. The palate shows pure tropical fruit notes giving the wine weight and a textural element adds complexity, leaving a long lingering finish.
Fruit sourced from our Oddstone vineyard. Free draining alluvial soils. Vine age 12-30 years.
Cool weather in November resulted in a poor flowering meaning the 2024 vintage was one of low yields but great quality. Summer was incredibly dry with the lowest rainfall recorded between September and March since records began.
Typical cool autumn nights allowed the fruit to retain acidity and the resulting wines are vibrant with lively and refreshing acidity.
Picking the fruit in the cool of the early morning allowed us to retain aromatic flavour precursors.
The harvested grapes were gently pressed to tank to cold settle, with the clear juice then being fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures with selected yeast strains designed to enhance aromatic intensity. 18% of the wine was wild fermented in a mixture of oak puncheons and stainless steel tanks, helping to add complexity, weight and texture. Once blended the wine was aged on light lees in tank
for 5 months.

"Aromas of fresh lemons, white pepper, jalapenos and passionfruit. The light-bodied palate has bright acidity and a high-tension mouthfeel. Tightly wound and precise with a touch of polish.
Drink now. Screw cap."
for experiences
Crack open a chilled bottle at the summit with your boots off and legs dangling over the edge. It tastes even better when your quads are burning and the sun’s going down.
Freshly shucked oysters, sandy feet, and a salty breeze. It’s your go-to when the chilly bin’s packed, the tide’s coming in, and the group chat actually came through.
Spotify’s on shuffle, the snacks are fancy (but low-effort), and the conversation is everything.
