2024 Yealands Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc, Awatere Valley

The Yealands Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Awatere Valley is a testament to the pioneering and sustainable approach of Yealands Estate. Located in the rugged landscape of New Zealand’s Marlborough region, Yealands was founded with a vision to create wines with minimal environmental impact, using innovative and sustainable viticulture practices. The estate, nestled in Awatere Valley, benefits from coastal breezes and unique soil profiles, imparting a distinctive mineral character to their wines. Winemaker Natalie Christensen brings her expertise and passion for environmentally conscious winemaking, focusing on preserving the natural qualities of the vineyard’s fruit.

This Sauvignon Blanc greets the senses with aromas of passionfruit, fresh lime, and green herbs. On the palate, vibrant tropical flavors merge with notes of green apple and citrus, creating a refreshing, crisp profile. A mineral-driven finish, with a hint of salinity from the coastal influence, adds depth to the wine’s bright acidity and expressive fruit character, making it a quintessential expression of Awatere Valley terroir.
