Kotata Wines, Kōtātā Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Inspired by the elusive Kōtātā bird—more often heard than seen—this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is bright, expressive and refreshingly distinctive. Crafted from fruit grown in Central Wairau and the Southern Valleys, it combines vibrant New Zealand character with a clear environmental commitment: 1% of profits is donated to the conservation of the Kōtātā and its habitat.

Tasting Notes
Pale and brilliant in the glass, Kōtātā Sauvignon Blanc opens with an energetic aromatic lift of ripe kiwifruit, lime, green melon and delicate white flowers. The palate is vivid and fruit-driven, balancing generous intensity with juicy, refreshing acidity. Its clean, elegant finish brings impressive length and makes the wine especially appealing in its youth. Enjoy it now for its freshness and aromatic precision.

Production
The grapes are sourced from Marlborough’s Central Wairau and Southern Valleys, where the fruit ripened slowly beneath a long, cool late-summer sun. This gradual maturation helps preserve Sauvignon Blanc’s natural freshness while developing its expressive fruit character. Further vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
A versatile choice as an aperitif, this Sauvignon Blanc is also well suited to fresh salads, asparagus, light seafood dishes and young cheeses. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C. Decanting is not necessary; pour straight from the bottle or allow it a few minutes in the glass to let its floral and citrus aromas unfold.

Producer
Kotata Wines presents this wine as both an expression of Marlborough’s vibrant Sauvignon Blanc style and a tribute to the rare Kōtātā bird. The winery’s conservation initiative, donating 1% of profits to nature protection, gives the cuvée a meaningful connection to New Zealand’s natural heritage. Further details about the winery’s history and achievements are not provided.
