Meltwater Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Meltwater Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is an organically grown Sauvignon Blanc drawn from the Wairau and Omaka Valleys.

Two valleys supply the fruit now: low-cropping certified-organic blocks in the central Wairau and in Omaka, higher and cooler to the south. Hand harvest, wild ferment and eight months on lees in tank is the whole recipe — the same treatment Mike Paterson gives his single-vineyard wines, applied to a variety that usually gets none of it. Organic certification is hard-won in Marlborough given the humidity and mildew pressure, and the fact that the growers behind this wine hold it says plenty about how the vines are farmed.

Ripe citrus and stone fruit tempered by tangy energy, with supple texture and genuine drinkability. Dry and clean through the finish. Serve at 9 to 10 degrees with fish and chips, grilled prawns, or asparagus and butter.
