With fruit sourced from the historic Auntsfield Vineyard in the Southern Valleys subregion, this sees partial native yeast fermentation in old oak barrels. The result is a bright, food friendly bottling that bursts with white peach, honeysuckle, lime and bell pepper. It's slippery textured and fresh, with a long citrusy finish.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2024 Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc leads with gooseberry and kiwi fruit, green apples and lemon barley. There is white pineapple and enoki mushroom as well. Wild ferment in old oak barrels gives the wine some texture and drive, which makes for attractive drinking. This is a good wine. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

James Suckling

Very typical sauvignon blanc with sliced pears and spiced apples. Medium-bodied with a fruity, fresh finish and a softness at the same time. Drink now. Screw cap.

Tasting note

The 2024 Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant interpretation of the classic Marlborough style. Enticing aromas of white-fleshed nectarine, papaya and honeydew melon with a hint of mandarin and jalapeno on the nose are underpinned by a ripe, richly textured palate and crisp, citrus finish.

VITICULTURE

‘Fruit was sourced from a selection of exceptional sites across Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, Central Wairau Plains and Awatere Valley.  A combination of heavier loess clay soil, naturally low yields and open canopies allowed the vines to ripen small, golden bunches of intensely flavoured fruit.

WINEMAKING

Picked on a cool, crisp morning just before sunrise, the fruit was harvested by machine and transported directly to the winery where it was gently pressed and cold settled for three days. The juice was racked to a combination of stainless steel tanks and old French oak puncheons where a mix of cultured and indigenous ‘wild’ yeast were allowed to ferment the juice through to dryness.

Each batch was left on lees and kept separate until May when the blend was assembled prior to bottling in July.
