Torea Bay Marlborough Sauv Blanc 2025

The last couple of months in Marlborough in 2024 were considerably warmer than usual, but the New Year brought a cooler change. It proved to be an excellent vintage. A yellow/green hue, this is much more pungent in style than we see with some from the region, with notes of nettles, citrus and grass. Hints of stone fruits are also apparent. There is juicy acidity here, with a lingering finish. The wine is most definitely not a shrinking violet. Rather, this is fresh and bright and will provide pleasure over the next two to four years.
