2024 'Like Vines' Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc by Isabel

Marlborough, turned up to high definition.

This is Sauvignon Blanc with a sense of place, turned sharply into focus. Sourced exclusively from the Craiglochart Vineyard in the Waihopai Valley, the wine opens with lifted aromatics of lime zest, passionfruit, grapefruit peel, and fresh herbs. On the palate, it’s bright and precise, citrus-led with flashes of juicy tropical fruit, but always pulled back by an elegant mineral line that keeps everything taut and refreshing. There’s real clarity here, not loud or showy, just beautifully expressive fruit and a finish that snaps clean and long.
For when: you want Sauvignon Blanc with polish and purpose.
Pairs with: grilled prawns, goat’s cheese, summer salads, or just the first glass of the evening.
If this wine were… a river swim on a hot day, exhilarating, pure, and instantly reviving.

The Like Vines project from Isabel Estate shines a spotlight on exceptional single vineyard sites across Marlborough, working closely with growers who share a commitment to purity and expression. Craiglochart Vineyard sits on an elevated river terrace plateau in the Waihopai Valley, where altitude and free-draining soils allow for slow, even ripening and heightened aromatic intensity. Made and bottled at Isabel Estate Winery, this wine is a clear expression of site and season, capturing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at its most focused, vibrant, and quietly confident.
