Mount Riley, Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Chosen from the most expressive vineyards of the vintage, the Mount Riley Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc comes from Marlborough's Southern Valleys, whose wines typically deliver distinctive elegance and texture.

Fermented in stainless steel to capture all the freshness of the fruit, this dry and exuberantly aromatic wine offers suggestions of passion fruit, lime, guava and white flowers. The striking purity and concentration of the fruit flavours balance zesty acidity with ripe, concentrated juiciness. 

‘Mount Riley Limited Release Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough displays vibrant tropical mango, ripe nectarine, citrus blossom and a touch of fresh basil. It's dry and medium-bodied with concentrated fruit intensity and crisp acidity that gives the wine remarkable purity and a long, refreshing finish. Serve it well-chilled alongside grilled prawns with garlic butter where the wine's tropical notes and zesty character complement the sweet shellfish, or pair it with herbed goat cheese crostini where the wine's bright acidity cuts through the creamy richness while echoing the herbaceous notes.’
