Tasting note

Whitehaven's 2024 Sauvignon Blanc should bring Marlborough's vivid citrus and green fruit, with lime, gooseberry and fresh herbs on the nose. Expect a light, energetic palate, where brisk acidity sharpens the fruit and leaves a crisp, finely textured feel. The projected peak years are 2026 to 2028, inside a drinking span that reaches 2030. A clean finish should carry lemon and herbal tones, with a lasting freshness rather than weight.
