The Garden Breeze of Marlborough.

Vibrant, aromatic, and full of Marlborough sunshine, the 2024 Isabel Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a masterclass in precision and purity. Bursting with aromas of passionfruit, lime zest, gooseberry and fresh-cut herbs, it’s as lively as a summer garden after rain. The palate is crisp and juicy with waves of citrus and tropical fruit balanced by stony minerality and a mouth-watering saline edge. Elegant rather than brash, it finishes long, clean, and refreshingly dry, a beautiful reminder of why this style conquered the world.

For when: you need instant brightness in the glass.
Pairs with: goat’s cheese salad, oysters, or lemon-grilled chicken.
If this wine were: a season, it’d be the first day of spring – fresh, bright, full of promise.

Isabel Estate, founded in 1980 and one of Marlborough’s pioneers, sits in the Wairau Valley on some of the region’s oldest Sauvignon plantings. The estate’s free-draining alluvial soils, cool nights and maritime breezes create the perfect conditions for Sauvignon Blanc of striking aromatic intensity and natural acidity.

Today, under the guidance of winemaker Jeremy McKenzie, Isabel Estate continues to refine its signature: expressive yet poised wines that highlight vineyard character over flashiness. The 2024 vintage, long and temperate, produced fruit of exceptional ripeness and balance. Fermented mainly in stainless steel with a small portion in neutral oak for texture, this release shows the estate at its best, a finely tuned Sauvignon that marries Marlborough’s exuberance with Isabel’s hallmark elegance.

2021/22 Kekerengu Coast Sauvignon Blanc, Astrolabe
£2495
The story of the Kēkerengū Coast Sauvignon Blanc is really defined by where it is: outside of the typical bounds of Marlborough. It is grown on limestone soils, which are not seen in the Wairau or Awatere Valleys. Kēkerengū is a narrow stretch between sea and mountain, and its extreme maritime climate has a profound influence on the wine, with an early budburst and late harvest. This combination of different soil and climate from the rest of Marlborough gives a very unique expression of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.

This 2021 vintage is dry, bone dry. Wafting from the glass are aromas of citrus pith, lime and grapefruit zest and hints of jasmine tea, fennel and basil. The palate is intense with flinty, almost salty notes and passionfruit flavours. It has a lovely briny, salty, savoury finish which speaks a bit about the sea nearby. It’s a great wine with oysters on the half shell, and it’s a wine that really appeals to a lot of people around the world that would normally profess not to be huge Marlborough Sauvignon drinkers and may have more European drinking sensibilities. Will develop in the bottle – drink now to 2028

2020 Province Pinot Noir, Astrolabe
£2750
This is a gorgeous Pinot Noir made from grapes grown across the Marlborough province: in the lower Waihopai and Wairau Valleys, the upper Brancott Valley and the Kekerengu Coast.

In the glass, it displays ripe dark and red cherry fruits, spice and leather with a hint of smoky oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied with round, mouth-filling flavours of plum, brambly fruit, dark cherry and savoury herbs. The oak integrates nicely with the fruit and silky tannins. Drink now to 2029. This wine is great with venison, duck, roasted beetroot, rare lamb and wild mushrooms.

2022 Pinot Noir, Isabel Estate
£2800
This Pinot Noir delivers on all levels. The clay-rich soils located in the southern border of the Isabel estate allow for an intensely concentrated Pinot Noir in flavour combined with a firm structured backbone of elegant and sinewy tannins. Layers of red fruit, dried herb and perfumed violet characters with nuances of white pepper make this wine attractive. With age it will gain extra complexity.
