Vinho Verde is meant to be enjoyed while young and fresh. Crisp green apple, lemon/lime citrus and hints of stone fruit play effortlessly on the palate

The Private Bin Sauvignon Blanc showcases everything fresh and vibrant about Marlborough. Initially, the classic Awatere aromas jump out of the glass, such as lemongrass, jalapeño peppers and fresh herbs. The cool climate in the Awatere Valley is influenced by Mt Tapuae-o-uenuku and the cool alpine winds and fresh sea breezes protect the natural acidity in this wine. In contrast, the Wairau Valley has warmer summer months, with dry nor-westerly winds influencing vineyards to produce a pungent Sauvignon Blanc with ripe citrus and tropical fruit flavours.

Yellow green in hue, this wine has distinctive and powerful aromas of herbal spice, fresh melon and ripe peaches. The flavours are exceptionally complex, showing notes of lichee, melon, tropical fruits and even a suggestion of Earl Grey tea.

This wine displays ripe tropical fruit aromas of passionfruit, grapefruit and guava. This leads onto a weighty, textural palate joined by fresh citrus and hints of grapefruit pith. The opulent structure is underpinned by a clean minerality, and the luscious concentration promotes a lingering and complex finish.
