Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

Yealands wines are inspired by the coast that surrounds their property in New Zealand, so close to the ocean that the vines are often misted with sea spray. The beauty of the environment influences how Yealands crafts wine, respectful of nature and the land. Yealands believes in sustainable winemaking and creating thoughtfully crafted wines that work in harmony with their landscape. Based in the Awatere Valley, the southernmost, coolest, and driest of Marlborough's growing regions, Yealands is one of only a handful of wineries around the world to be certified as carbon neutral and the first ever to be certified from inception. Yealands' sustainable Seaview Vineyard is one of the most coastal vineyards in New Zealand; its proximity to the coastline provides distinctive mineral characteristics.

Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from our Seaview vineyard.

At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed, and the juice settled to remove solids. The clear juice underwent fermentation in various temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using a range of selected yeasts to capture and enhance the wine's varietal characteristics. The wine was then blended, stabilized, and filtered in preparation for bottling.

The nose is enticing and lively filled with aromas of perfumed blackcurrant leaf, key lime, fresh herb, and passionfruit. The palate is complex, with layers of fruit sweetness, citrus drive, and a mineral finish.
