Sauvignon Blanc Celebration Duo
Sold Out
We're celebrating our flagship Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs with International Sauvignon Blanc Day next Friday 7 May, a day for Sauvignon fans worldwide to celebrate and share their love for this delightful variety.
Celebrate our multi award winning Sauvignon Blancs with this duo - A bottle of our flagship Whitehaven label and a bottle of our 'Greg' Single Vineyard label. Our Sauvignon's are a powerful, elegant and consistent expression of Marlborough’s classical style.
Our flagship Sauvignon Blanc is made with fruit from all three of Marlborough's sub-regions, displaying typical Marlborough characteristics of blackcurrant, citrus and stonefruit, a refreshing, well balanced wine.
Our 'Greg' Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is crafted with fruit sourced entirely from the Awatere Valley, showcasing a true expression of the sub-region, with classic gooseberry, blackcurrant and ripe green flavours with a crunchy mouth-watering texture.
The ‘Greg’ range is dedicated to the memory of our founder Greg White, 1952-2007.
