The 2021 Grande Sauvignon leads with lanolin, beeswax, chalk, fig, white peach and brine. In the mouth, the wine is textural and broad. It's complex and good, but it also feels muted and subdued. A gourmand wine, it’s one that will pair well in a restaurant due to its quiet nature, complex textural nuances and length of flavor. 13% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

The 2021 Sauvignon The Marlborist Grande has a sense of swag. Fermented in old French puncheons and barrique, its edges are curved and there are oak-derived toasted hazelnut flavors and biscuity-like lees notes alongside the ripe, white-stone fruit. The tangy green and sweet blackcurrant hints of Sauvignon make an appearance on the back-palate, reminding you of the variety behind the wine. Both focused and textural, the finish is firm and confident. At this early stage, it needs time to settle, its components still being awkward but there's a lot to like here. You can't fault the ambition.

Not one bound by convention, The Marlborist Grande Sauvignon is an alternative style of Sauvignon Blanc that is both intricate and textural, with a rich, generous palate that finishes with a flinty dryness. An alluring array of orange blossom, green apple and golden-fleshed nectarines with hints of brioche and nougat. This is a beautiful wine with a rich, creamy palate underpinned by a long, citrus finish. The Grande Sauvignon boldly steps away from the classic Marlborough style. Low yielding, hand-picked and wild fermented in French oak puncheons, this rich, complex wine breaks every rule in the book.
