Cut grass, lime peel, guavas and passion fruit on the nose. Classic, crunchy and fruity, with a medium body and clean, refreshing finish. Nicely done.

Winemaker Notes

A punchy and contemporary Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley, this wine has an intense and lifted bouquet of tropical fruits with an herbaceous edge. A juicy, vibrant palate is driven by a crisp, citrus acidity making for a long and elegant finish.

Enjoy with barbequed seafood or a creamy pasta dish.

Winery Notes

Established in 1988 by a group of local winegrowers, Grove Mill crafts wines that reflect the best of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley with minimal environmental impact. Their winemaking practices – from establishing a wetland which protects southern bell frogs to its landmark 2006 carbon-neutral certification – protect the nearby Wairau River, which is at the heart of Marlborough’s largest sub-region.  

Since their first plantings in 1988 Grove Mill has continued to pioneer vineyard management techniques. They utilize natural and sensitive vineyard practices to enhance the regional character of our wines, which foster and further develop the unique Grove Mill style.
