ROHE Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc 2026

ROHE Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc brings Marlborough's coastal side into sharp focus, with ripe passionfruit and blackcurrant flavours set against a distinctly salty mineral edge. Sourced from Dillons Point near the meeting of the Wairau and Opawa Rivers, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc has plenty of fruit intensity while retaining a lively, savoury finish. The ROHE range is Rapaura Springs' sub-regional project, created to show how different corners of Marlborough express themselves in the glass. A smart pick for Sauvignon drinkers who like their tropical fruit vivid and their finish crisp and mineral, especially alongside oysters, mussels or simply grilled fish.

What the winery says:

The 2026 is described as ripe and immediately expressive, with intense passionfruit and blackcurrant flavours complemented by the salty minerality associated with Dillons Point. The sub-region sits near Marlborough's coast at the confluence of the Wairau and Opawa Rivers, where deep, young, mineral-rich alluvial silts lie over sand. The winery suggests the wine will continue to drink well over the next three years.

What the experts say

Cameron Douglas MS, 93 Points (2025 Vintage)
"A delicious wine with the signature of Dillon Point Vineyard in play - aromas and flavours of prince melon and sandy soils, a saline quality surrounds flavours of white peach and mandarin, red apple and a soft natural fruits spice. Crisp and dry with a core of fruit then mineral and salty edges, balanced and ready to drink form 2025 through 2027."
