"Classic, pungent, ripe, fruity core of tropical fruits and fresh green herbs - basil and sage, passionfruit and citrus. Salivating and fresh, juicy and fleshy mouthfeel with a backbone of acidity carrying flavours and vibrato across the palate. Well made and ready to drink from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

Pale green. Enticing aromas of tropical fruits, blackcurrant, green capsicum and lime. A bright and opulent wine with complex layers of tropical passionfruit and mineral wet stone. The palate is bright and concentrated with a lingering freshness.

Selected from the Dillons Point area of Marlborough. Close to the ocean, this sub-region experiences long hot days balanced by the effect of cooling sea breezes at night. The 2025 vintage started with warm spring weather resulting in early flowering within our Delta vineyards. The growing season had higher levels of rain that cleared up early April, at this time the wind picked up, drying the fruit and leaving behind disease free grapes with intense tropical flavours. Ripening steadily throughout the growing period, the fruit was continually monitored until a balance of flavour, acidity and physiological ripeness was reached.

During a cool evening, the vineyard was machine harvested and the grapes quickly transported to the winery where they were destemmed and pressed. After settling, the juice was fermented at cool temperatures and racked off lees quickly to retain the vibrant fruit flavours and freshness of this Sauvignon Blanc. Heather then selected her favourite components from this vineyard to produce our flagship Hatters Hill Sauvignon Blanc. 

Food Pairing: A bright and complex wine with fresh, tropical characteristics and a salty, mineral finish. An ideal match with pan-fried scallops, or soft goats cheese salad.
