✨ Technical Specifications
Yealands Sauvignon Blanc is an expressive benchmark of Marlborough's Awatere Valley. Situated on dramatic coastal cliffs exposed to intense sunshine and strong maritime winds, the estate's vines experience cooler temperatures and lower yields, yielding smaller berries with highly concentrated flavors. Fermented primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks using selected yeast strains to preserve aromatic purity, this wine highlights intense thiols and pyrazines without oak influence, yielding a crisp, vivid, and saline profile.
