Tasting Notes
Aroma
A fresh, crisp, and inviting Sauvignon Blanc that captures the classic
Marlborough style. The aromatics offer gooseberry, citrus, tropical notes and
subtle herbal flashes.
Palate
It’s light bodied, and refreshing with crisp acidity and a
clean finish that has us reaching for another glass.
Vinification
Individual blocks were harvested by machine over 4 weeks, commencing on
the 13th of March. Fruit is transported straight to the winery, gently pressed
over 2.5 hours and cold settled. After 2-3 days clear juice is racked and
fermented in stainless steel tanks with a selected yeast at cool temperatures.
The wines are then racked soon after ferment to capture the fresh flavours of
the season. The blend is assembled in early June for a late June bottling.
Cellaring Potential
5 years when cellared correctly.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 season got off to an enthusiastic early start. October and
November were unseasonably warm, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees
celcius. December then delivered cool, grey and drizzly weather slowing
development on the vine. While the weather was unseasonal, so were the
overly abundant yields across Marlborough. Fruit thinning was required over
all vineyards, to ensure balance and to give fruit the best chance to ripen
without the pressure of disease. The yield adjustments paid off, with ripe,
clean fruit coming into the winery.
Food Matching
A range of seafood dishes, hard cheeses, and crisp green salads with fresh
herbs and olive oil.
Region Notes
The fruit is sourced mostly from grower vineyards in the Wairau Valley. The
free draining alluvial soils work well with Sauvignon Blanc for creating a
‘classic’ style. A number of these vineyards have been with Crowded House
for more than a decade. A small portion of fruit comes from the richer clay
soils of the Southern Valleys to add weight in the mid-palate.
