Yealands Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2023 (Marlborough)

Yealands Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is one of New Zealand’s most coastal vineyards. Breath- taking vistas of rolling hills and wild coastline define our wines. The strong offshore winds encourage the grapes to grow small with thickened skins and wonderfully concentrated characteristics.

Yealands Estate Single Vineyard wines are the truest expression of our coastal location, showcasing our unique environment and diversity of flavours across this singularly incredible vineyard.

The Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is exposed to some of the toughest growing conditions in Marlborough. High sunshine and wind, cool nights and low rainfall which produces a smaller, thicker skinned berry with intense fruit flavours. This wine is a blend of three different blocks on the property, each uniquely contributing to the expressive nature of the wine.

Optimal fruit selected from the Yealands coastal M, N and O Blocks were harvested and field de-stemmed. After gently pressing and removing solids, the clear juice was fermented with specially selected yeast to enhance varietal character. A long cool fermentation followed to capture and enhance the pure aromatics. Post fermentation, the wine was stabilised and filtered prior to bottling.
