Esk Valley, Sauvignon Blanc 2024

Esk Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2024 comes from one of New Zealand’s most respected boutique wineries, bringing together Marlborough’s signature freshness with Esk Valley’s hallmark focus on texture and balance. Known for crafting wines with precision and depth, Esk Valley has built a strong reputation for expressive, high-quality bottles that consistently stand out in international competitions.

Tasting Notes
Bright and pale straw in the glass, this Sauvignon Blanc is typically vibrant and pure, with lifted aromas of gooseberry, citrus zest, passion fruit, and freshly cut herbs. On the palate, it’s crisp and lively, but with more weight and harmony than many wines in the style, offering layers of tropical fruit, lime, and a clean mineral edge. Esk Valley’s approach tends to give the wine added texture and depth, so while it is delicious on release, it can also hold nicely for a short period if you prefer a touch more integration. Best enjoyed fresh for its vivid aromatics and bright fruit character.

Production
The Sauvignon Blanc grapes come from Marlborough, New Zealand’s most famous cool-climate region for the variety, where long sunny days and cool nights help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. Harvesting is carefully managed to capture peak freshness, and the winemaking is geared toward retaining the grape’s natural vibrancy while building a more layered, textural style.

Food & Serving
Serve chilled at around 8-10°C and enjoy with fresh oysters, goat’s cheese, green salads, grilled fish, asparagus, or lightly spiced Asian dishes. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour to appreciate the wine’s fresh, aromatic character.

Producer
Esk Valley is one of Hawke’s Bay’s most established names, with roots going back to the 1930s. After a period of decline, the winery was revived by Sir George Fistonich, founder of Villa Maria, and today it operates as a respected boutique producer under the guidance of acclaimed winemaker Gordon Russell. The estate is known for its meticulous vineyard focus, handcrafted approach, and a long track record of award-winning wines.
