Expressive aromas of passion fruit, grapefruit, ripe lime, and tropical fruit are complemented by delicate floral and citrus notes. The palate is vibrant and refreshing, offering flavors of juicy citrus, ripe stone fruit, and subtle tropical fruit. Bright acidity provides excellent freshness and structure, while a smooth, satin-like texture adds richness and balance. Gentle floral nuances and a subtle savory quality contribute complexity without overpowering the wine’s fruit-forward character. The finish is long, crisp, and refreshing with lingering grapefruit, lime, and tropical fruit.

The Estate

Hunter’s Wines is one of Marlborough’s pioneering wineries, established in 1979 by Ernie and Jane Hunter. Following Ernie’s passing, Jane Hunter became a leading figure in New Zealand’s wine industry, helping establish Marlborough’s international reputation for exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. Today, the winery remains independently family-owned, with the next generation of the family maintaining its commitment to sustainability, quality, and regional expression.

Wine Making

Hunter’s Sauvignon Blanc is produced from estate-grown grapes sourced from the Wairau Valley, where warm sunny days and cool nights encourage vibrant tropical fruit character and refreshing acidity. Following harvest, the grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is settled before fermentation in stainless steel tanks using wild and indigenous yeasts. Extended contact with fine lees enhances texture and complexity while preserving the wine’s fresh citrus and tropical aromas. Following a short maturation period, the wine is blended and estate-bottled, resulting in a balanced, aromatic, and refreshing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
