Folium Sauvignon Blanc 2024 from Folium Vineyard in Marlborough, New Zealand is a beautifully composed, small‑production sauv that dials back the tropical fireworks in favour of texture, minerality and cool‑climate poise – a really smart choice if you like your savvy blanc more grown‑up than punchy. In the glass, Folium Sauvignon Blanc shows pale lemon colour with aromas of lemon and grapefruit, subtle stone fruit, green apple and a gentle saline edge, thanks to stony and clay soils and about seven months in stainless steel to preserve that crisp, zesty freshness. The palate is dry, medium‑bodied, with lively acidity, understated fruit and a savoury, mineral finish that makes you want another sip.item.

For food, this style of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is magic with freshly shucked oysters, prawns on the barbie, or a bright goat’s cheese salad where that citrus and mineral line cuts through the richness perfectly. It’ll also sit nicely alongside grilled fish with lemon and herbs, or simple sushi and sashimi when you want the wine to refresh rather than dominate. If you’re planning a long seafood lunch, Folium Sauvignon Blanc 2024 is exactly the kind of chilled, high‑quality white you’ll be happy to pour all afternoon.

This 2024 Folium Sauvignon Blanc feels like a great option for Adelaide drinkers who enjoy Marlborough whites but want something a bit more subtle – crafted from a tiny six‑hectare estate, it focuses on expressing site and vintage rather than just varietal punch, giving you a thoughtful, refreshing wine that still absolutely hits the spot. It’s the sort of savvy you open with friends who’ll actually notice the difference, and once they do, Folium tends to become a regular in the fridge.
