EX Vintage
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Exceptional Vintage 2023
Aromatic citrus and peach up front, thyme in the mix, and a mineral streak underneath. Full of flavour, fresh with acidity, long and classy on the finish.

The Specs
served straight
Not another marketing blurb.
Just the practical stuff, how it’s made, what it pairs with.
Food Pairing
Pairs with fresh oysters, sushi, and sashimi, or classics like lemon roast chicken and goat’s cheese salad.
Winemaking
Barewood Vineyard fruit, grown at 400m elevation, was fermented in French oak cuves and aged in seasoned barriques. A mix of wild and selected yeasts brought complexity, while blocking malolactic locked in acidity. After eight months the wine was blended, filtered, and bottled - showing depth and texture without losing Marlborough’s trademark drive.
