Matua Sauvignon Blanc — Marlborough 2024
Matua pioneered Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc back in 1974, and fifty years on, the region's most iconic grape variety still finds one of its most honest expressions here. The 2024 vintage is everything Marlborough promises — vivid aromatics, electric acidity, and a palate that is both refreshing and precise. Ken's Wine Guide awarded it 89.5 points, calling it crisp, zesty, and mouthwatering. With classic structure and a dry, lingering finish, this is the bottle you reach for when the occasion calls for something bright, honest, and undeniably delicious.
The nose opens with white grapefruit and guava, layered with hints of white peach and limestone. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied with bright, mouthwatering acidity — crisp, round, and zesty. Flavors of white grapefruit and lime are accented by tonic water, yellow bell pepper, and a touch of chalky minerality. The finish is dry and lingering, with classic Marlborough length and precision.
Ken's Wine Guide 89.5 (Vintage 2024) • Wine Enthusiast 93 (Prior Vintage 2023) — "Dried herbs and lemongrass, with passionfruit sorbet, open this lovely, balanced Sauvignon. It's textural, long and persistent, with a salted pink grapefruit finish." — Christina Pickard
