Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

• The Profile: An expressive nose loaded with pungent passionfruit, ripe gooseberry, and fresh lime zest leads into a bright, crisp palate featuring juicy tropical fruit flavors, mouth-watering mineral acidity, and a clean, wonderfully refreshing finish.
• Classic Pairings: Pairs elegantly with freshly shucked oysters, pan-seared sea bass with a squeeze of lemon, or a vibrant artisanal goat's cheese salad.
• Irish Favourite Pairings: A sensational match for a classic home-cooked fish pie or a comforting chicken and broccoli bake, where the wine's striking acidity effortlessly cuts through the rich, creamy sauces. It is also an absolute dream alongside a traditional Friday night chipper order of fresh cod and chips—the bright, zesty citrus notes slice straight through the heavy, fried batter, acting like a natural palate cleanser that perfectly balances the salt and oil.

How the wine is made

The grapes are sourced from premium vineyard plots across Marlborough, where long sunny days and cool nighttime temperatures allow the Sauvignon Blanc fruit to build intense flavor while maintaining its hallmark crispness. Harvested at optimal ripeness, the fruit undergoes gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve maximum freshness and primary fruit aromatics. This careful, low-intervention process completely avoids oak contact, ensuring that the distinctive tropical and mineral notes of the Marlborough terroir remain pure and unadulterated.

By focusing on vineyards influenced by ancient riverbeds and cool coastal breezes, they capture an authentic snapshot of the land in every vintage. We love their commitment to creating highly expressive, beautifully balanced wines that bring the vibrant energy of Marlborough straight to our customers in Ireland without any pretence.
