The Yealands Estate Single Block S1 Sauvignon Blanc is a premium expression of Marlborough's Awatere Valley. Sourced from a sun-drenched, coastal site on the Seaview Vineyard, this wine is defined by its unique microclimate and proximity to the ocean. It offers a highly expressive aromatic profile featuring ripe nectarine, pineapple, and vibrant citrus, complemented by subtle herbal notes and a distinctive flinty minerality. The palate is richly textured, balanced by a firm, mouth-watering acidity that provides exceptional length and precision.
This is a masterclass in coastal Sauvignon Blanc. You must try it to experience the perfect balance between tropical intensity and flinty, saline precision.
