About this wine

Heaphy Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, textural expression of Nelson's unique coastal terroir. Bright and racy with saline freshness and layered fruit, it sets itself apart from New Zealand's other regional Sauvignons. Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown in Tasman, Upper Moutere, and the Waimea Plains, this wine showcases the distinctive character of the Nelson Tasman region. Why You'll Love It This is Nelson Sauvignon Blanc from Heaphy Vineyard, a small winery in the north-west corner of New Zealand's South Island. The Nelson Tasman region, with its long sunshine hours, cool maritime breezes, and varied soils, creates ideal conditions for expressive, terroir-driven wines that are distinctly different from Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are cold pressed to tank for fermentation, then settled, racked, and left to rest on fine lees for 8 months before gentle filtration and bottling. This extended lees contact creates a wine with rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture, and remarkable complexity. This is New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc with coastal character, textural depth, and saline freshness. Region & Winemaking Produced by Heaphy Vineyard in Nelson Tasman, South Island, New Zealand.

Tasting Notes A breezy maritime nose of seagrass and pink citrus leads to a palate bursting with concentrated margarita zest, green and red apple. The wine has a rich mouthfeel, fine leesy texture, and a long, saline finish. Like a sunny walk by the sea. Food Pairing Perfect with scallops seared in butter, chilli prawn linguine, or goats' cheese and roast red pepper salad. Also excellent with fresh oysters, grilled fish, and seafood pasta.
