Isabel Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2024, Isabel Estate, Marlborough. This benchmark Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc explodes with lush passionfruit, blackcurrant leaf, grapefruit and fresh gooseberry aromas that capture the region’s pristine maritime intensity and cool-climate vibrancy.

The palate surges with concentrated citrus, lemongrass zing and tropical green fruit layers, all wrapped in refreshing flinty minerality and structural acidity that drives a long, mouthwatering finish – pure summer perfection with real class. Chill this Kiwi superstar for fresh oysters, kingfish crudo, goat’s cheese salad or tempura calamari; it’ll vanish from shelves faster than a southerly buster and convert every Marlborough doubter.​
