2021 Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc, Saint Clair

The 2021 Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc bursts from the glass with that unmistakable Marlborough energy, vibrant gooseberry, fresh passionfruit and zesty lime zest leap forward, joined by subtle hints of crushed herbs and green chilli leaf. There’s a bright clarity to the aromatics, with a chalky mineral edge that hints at the vineyard’s coastal terroir and gives the wine a crisp, lively personality before the first sip.

On the palate it’s all precision and freshness. The acidity snaps clean, lifting flavours of ripe tropical melon, citrus pith and fresh cut herbs, while a thread of saline minerality runs through to the finish. Light-bodied but layered, the wine offers juicy fruit weight without losing that pure, steely backbone so characteristic of northern Marlborough Sauvignon.

This Sauvignon Blanc is the kind you reach for when seafood lands on the table, when oysters glisten on ice, or when a bright green salad simply calls for something sharp, crisp and joyous. Cool, invigorating and full of Marlborough sunshine, Dillons Point delivers Sauvignon Blanc at its most vivid and delicious.
