INFO

Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc carves a new path in refinement and elegance. Low-yielding fruit from some of Marlborough’s best vineyards is tempered with a portion of wild fermentation in old oak barrels, bringing a new level of richness and complexity to this crisp, classic style.

Alpine Rift  fruit was sourced from four exceptional vineyards in Marlborough’s Southern Valley’s, Rapaura, Renwick and Awatere Valley. A combination of heavier loess clay and free-draining, alluvial soils, naturally low yields and open canopies allowed the vines to ripen small, golden bunches of intensely flavoured fruit.

ABOUT THE WINERY

A CELEBRATION OF ALL THAT WE LOVE ABOUT MARLBOROUGH. 
Nestled between the snow capped Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, this is our home, the place where we have built our knowledge and honed our craft, working for some of the regions’ pioneers. 

WE ARE THE MARLBORIST.
OUR AMBITION IS TO SHARE OUR LOVE OF PLACE THROUGH OUR WINES. 
Each bottle will open a window to the elements of Marlborough that we’re lucky enough to experience, everyday. We’ve dedicated our working lives to the evolution, development and craft of the very best of the Marlborough region in New Zealand.

 

TASTING NOTES

•  The 2023 Alpine Rift Sauvignon Blanc is an elegant interpretation of the classic Marlborough style. Hints of golden-flesh nectarine, blackcurrant leaf and passionfruit on the nose are underpinned by a ripe, richly textured palate and crisp, citrus finish.
