Collectables Sauvignon Blanc

If you’d like to experience a unique wine with the intensely fruit-driven vibrancy of a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, but with restrained, elegant overtones, then Collectables Sauvignon Blanc is perfect for you.

Organically grown, harvested to preserve fresh flavours

Our commitment to organics has seen continual improvements in the flavour and mouthfeel of our wines as the vines become more self-sufficient and naturally balanced.

Light leaf plucking during the growing season ensures optimum sunlight and airflow, and the resulting fruit has a beautifully balanced intensity.  Harvesting is done in the early hours of the morning to retain freshness and flavour.

 

The winemaking process

The grapes are de-stemmed and pressed, then slowly fermented in stainless-steel at a cool temperature using carefully selected yeast.  After fermentation the wine remains on yeast lees for several months to build richness and mouthfeel. The wine is then racked and fined, filtered and bottled, capturing the essence of our land.

Cellaring potential

Walnut Block crafts its individual wines to develop and evolve over time, and this Sauvignon Blanc is no exception. While perfect to drink from first release, it will continue mature gracefully for 3-5 years.

  • 4 stars Winestate Magazine (Michael Cooper, MW)

    “Mouthfilling, with fresh, ripe passionfruit and lime flavours, crisp, dry and finely balanced, and very good vigour and depth. Sweet-fruited, youthful, distinctly Wairau Valley style”

  • 89pts, The Wine Gang, UK

    A restrained Marlborough style, with enough grassiness and hints of elderflower, but a palate that is balanced between crisp apple freshness and more tropical tones. Beautifully done.
