The Story
I hail from the sunlit vineyards of Marlborough where the Southern Alps cast long shadows and cool sea breezes dance through the vines. My name is Swiftsure Sauvignon Blanc, and I’m crafted with the spirit of the landscape in mind—terraced slopes, greywacke soils, and a climate that brings intensity and clarity in equal measure. With each harvest, my winemakers set out to capture Marlborough’s signature vibrancy and purity; I’m meant to reflect that place rather than mask it.
Why You’ll Love Me
I welcome you with bright aromas of green apple, gooseberry, and a flourish of tropical passionfruit, framed by fresh herb-leaf and a subtle mineral edge. On the palate I’m crisp and lively—zesty lime and citrus lift segue into a mineral core that keeps things grounded. My finish is clean, lingering just long enough to invite another sip. I’m the kind of wine that elevates simple meals and moments without ever getting in the way—balanced, approachable, and unmistakably Marlborough in character.
