Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon has boomed in recent years. Its crisp acidity makes it a popular choice as an aperitif or with food. It's an aromatic variety, enjoyed when young, and mostly un-oaked. Produced in a variety of methods in the Old and New World resulting in a light and minerally style to more tropical flavours.

- Passion Fruit
Established in 2001, Waipara Hills is based in the picturesque Waipara Valley, just 30 miles north of Christchurch. In a very short time it has developed a fine reputation for crafting wines with rich aromatics, alongside vibrant and complex flavours. The grapes employed to make the Sauvignon Blanc come from both the major sub-regions of Marlborough; the Wairau and Awatere valleys offer complementary fruit, which when combined, produce complex and balanced wines.
