2023 Sauvignon Blanc, Bishop's Leap
Bright, breezy, and bursting with Marlborough sunshine, this Sauvignon Blanc is a pure slice of New Zealand at its zesty best. Aromas of passionfruit, gooseberry and freshly cut herbs leap from the glass, followed by a hint of lime and elderflower. On the palate it’s crisp and vibrant, brimming with tropical fruit and citrus, perfectly balanced by mouth-watering acidity and a long, refreshing finish that keeps you coming back for more.
For when: The evening’s warm, the glass is chilled, and you’re dreaming of the sea.
Pairs with: Grilled prawns, goat’s cheese salad, or anything kissed by lime.
If this wine were: A summer soundtrack, upbeat, effortless, and instantly familiar.
A long-standing favourite among Marlborough devotees, Bishop’s Leap is crafted by winemaker Megan Simmons, who captures the region’s signature energy and clarity in every vintage. Grapes are sourced from select vineyard parcels across the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, where alluvial soils and cool Pacific breezes create the perfect conditions for expressive, aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. Fermented cool in stainless steel with minimal intervention, this wine celebrates purity and place, a crisp, modern Marlborough classic that over-delivers in every sense.
