The Marlborist Grande Sauvignon boldly steps away from the classic Marlborough style. Low yielding, hand-picked and wild fermented in French oak puncheons, this rich, complex wine breaks every rule in the book.

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.
- Not one bound by convention, The Marlborist Grande Sauvignon is a bold departure
from the classic Marlborough style. Fermented entirely with naturally occurring yeast
in a mixture of old French oak barrels and puncheons, it is an alternative style of
sauvignon blanc with an alluring array of golden-flesh peaches, candied pineapple
and melon with hints of elderflower and brioche. This is a moreish wine with a rich,
creamy palate underpinned by a long, citrus finish.
In order to retain maximum flavour and mouthfeel we have chosen to bottle this wine
without fining or filtration. This minimal intervention wine may throw a sediment which
is perfectly natural and completely harmless.
