Our Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc delivers the strong, aromatic profile New Zealand has become famous for, with vibrant red capsicum, gooseberry, and rich passionfruit layered with tropical fruit undertones, and hints of freshly cut grass, tomato stalk, grapefruit, and lime. Every wine is estate grown, on vineyards that hold some of the oldest vines in Marlborough, and made our way, with minimal intervention.
We make three distinct Sauvignon Blancs, each shaped by its vines, its site, and the way it is made. Stich, named for our founder John “Stich” Stichbury, is our classic Marlborough style, grown on vines now well over 30 years old. Somerset is a wild-fermented, single-vineyard wine, grown on heavy clay in our Somerset vineyard in the Waihopai Valley. Grey Ghost is barrel fermented, the wine our winemaker, Matt Patterson-Green, calls “a winemaker’s wine”. We keep its older vintages in our library collection.
