Winemaker Notes
A punchy and contemporary Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley, this wine has an intense and lifted bouquet of tropical fruits with an herbaceous edge. A juicy, vibrant palate is driven by a crisp, citrus acidity making for a long and elegant finish.
Enjoy with barbequed seafood or a creamy pasta dish.

James Suckling
Cut grass, lime peel, guavas and passion fruit on the nose. Classic, crunchy and fruity, with a medium body and clean, refreshing finish. Nicely done.

Wine Spectator
Fresh and vibrant, with Key lime pie, Honeycrisp apple and lemon thyme notes on a mouthwatering frame, showing accents of dried pineapple and a hint of passion fruit. Drink now.

Established in 1988 by a group of local winegrowers, Grove Mill crafts wines that reflect the best of Marlborough’s Wairau Valley with minimal environmental impact. Their winemaking practices – from establishing a wetland which protects southern bell frogs to its landmark 2006 carbon-neutral certification – protect the nearby Wairau River, which is at the heart of Marlborough’s largest sub-region.
Since their first plantings in 1988 Grove Mill has continued to pioneer vineyard management techniques. They utilize natural and sensitive vineyard practices to enhance the regional character of our wines, which foster and further develop the unique Grove Mill style.
In 2017 winemaker Greg Lane joined Grove Mill, and was subsequently named New Zealand Young Winemaker of the Year in 2018. Greg continues to drive and define the style of Grove Mill’s wines – balanced, modern styles of Marlborough wine that give a clear representation of our fantastic vineyard sites.
To produce a Sauvignon Blanc that reflects the Wairau’s diversity of terroirs, they source fruit from multiple home vineyard and premier sites throughout the valley floor and foothills. The resulting spectrum of flavors creates a truly multi-dimensional expression of the Wairau: pure, tropical and passion fruit flavors and aromas with a weighty, layered palate and long, generous finish. These are wines to enjoy today, from a place Grove Mill is safeguarding for future generations.
