Esk Valley

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2017

A blend of vineyard sites in the Wairau and Awatere Valleys - Esk Valley's Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of what people love about Marlborough. Melon rind, grapefruit pith, lemongrass, Thai basil, and a subtle rose quality - the wine is bright, boisterous, and so very easy to enjoy. — 6 years ago

Villa Maria

Taylors Pass Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

From the northern banks of the Awatere Valley, Villa Maria crafts a fabulous Pinot Noir from the Taylors Pass Vineyard. An intensely herbaceous, medicinal expression of Marlborough Pinot - it almost reminds me of Fernet, with its pleasant amaro-like flavors - sage, quinine, mint, hibiscus, black sesame, smoke, and damp bark. Captivating and lengthy. — 6 years ago

Whitehaven

Greg Awatere Valley Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2015

A mild sauv blanc with a delightful flavour. Less acid than Kim or other SB from the region, but this is likely my new favourite Sauv. — 8 years ago

Triplebank

Awatere Valley Pinot Noir 2010

2010 is amazing. More recent vintages have not been up to this. Lots of experience with this label. Find the 2010 or older. '11 on has been a dramatically more pedestrian offering. — 8 years ago

Loveblock

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018

The 2018 Loveblock Sauvignon Blanc comes from the hilltops above Marlborough’s Awatere Valley. It shows 12.5% abv and sells for $22. Erica Crawford says, “New Zealand’s signature varietal tends to be bold and big,” thanks in no small part to her husband. This wine, she says, “focuses on texture rather than enhanced aromatics.” It went through 25% malolactic fermentation in order to soften the wine. Sure enough, it’s tamer and fruitier on the nose than their previous efforts. The minerals are still there, but the sometimes overwhelming greenness is replaced by a great fruit flavor. The 2017 vintage is a little grassier on the nose and palate, but still mild in comparison to the earlier profile. — 5 years ago
