Leveret Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Leveret Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, fruit-filled Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough's Awatere Valley, offering an inviting mix of passionfruit, ripe peach and zesty lime, with delicate citrus blossom and gooseberry notes. The palate is juicy and generously textured, bringing together crisp apple, tropical fruit and refreshing citrus flavours. Bright acidity keeps everything lively, while a subtle mineral character and gentle touch of sweetness round out the finish. Fresh, expressive and beautifully balanced, this is a slightly softer take on classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. A fantastic match for fresh seafood, shellfish, summer salads or roast pork with apple sauce, and equally enjoyable chilled on a sunny afternoon.

What the winery says:

Grapes were sourced from the Kuranui Vineyard in Marlborough's Awatere Valley, with the juice transported to the producer's Katikati winery for fermentation in stainless steel tanks at approximately 14°C using selected yeast. Following fermentation, the wine was stabilised, blended and filtered before bottling in June 2025. The winery describes passionfruit, lime and citrus blossom aromas, with crisp acidity driving a juicy palate and a semi-dry finish showing a delicate mineral character.

A just dry wine on the palate with a juicy and fleshy palate, flavours of apple and passionfruit, some white peach and plenty of citrus. Well made and quite delicious, best drinking from day of purchase through 2027+.”
