Mount Fishtail 2024 Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand

The Mount Fishtail Sur‑Lie Sauvignon Blanc greets you like sunlight on pebbled coastal clay. Aromas of passionfruit and grapefruit bloom into lime blossom and guava, bright and centered. Beneath them, a whisper of capsicum and crushed stone speak of the Wairau Valley’s mineral spine. 

On the palate, that bright lift holds — fruit plays first, then mellows into creamy lees-born texture. A thread of savory saline cuts through, keeping the finish both refreshing and persistent. It’s lively without leaning lean or flashy. 

In the glass, there’s a duality rooted in site. The vines stand in stony soils beneath a sky blasted by sun and cooled by evening breezes. That rhythm, of hot days and crisp nights, gives the wine both texture and brightness. The sur-lie aging—soft lees held close—earns it added weight without dulling the edge. 

Behind the label is intention. Mount Fishtail embraces sustainability and hands-off winemaking—not as statement, but in service to terroir. Minimal intervention allows Marlborough’s expression to form naturally: fruit, lifted by air, sharpened by detail. 

This is Sauvignon Blanc made for the table and the breeze. Pour it with oysters, white fish, or nothing but your own thoughts unbilled. It tastes of place, patience, and season—not show, but presence.
