Meltwater Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Organic. As you would expect from a producer of Corofin’s calibre, Meltwater’s Marlborough Sauvignon hits all the right notes, with considerably more texture and interest than this category typically delivers. Based on low-cropping, certified-organic blocks in central Wairau Valley and the Omaka Valley, this wine gets the Rolls Royce treatment: hand-harvest, wild ferment and eight months on lees in tank. It’s a gorgeous release for this label, with ripe citrus and stone fruit moderated by tangy energy, supple texture and joyous drinkability. Beautifully done. A rose amongst thorns.
