Sea Cove Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Sea Cove Sauvignon Blanc is bright and expressive, with lifted aromas of passionfruit, lime zest and fresh-cut herbs. The palate is crisp and lively, showing citrus and tropical fruit layered with subtle minerality and a clean, refreshing finish.

100% Sauvignon Blanc from certified sustainable vineyards of Lake Road Winery with well drained alluvial soils (gravel, silt and loess with pockets of clay) and a cool, sunny maritime climate that promotes intense aromatics and crisp acidity. The grapes are harvested in the cool early morning to preserve aromatics, gently pressed and cold-settled before fermentation in stainless steel at low temperatures to retain freshness and varietal purity. A short period on fine lees enhances texture and complexity, with no oak influence to maintain the wine’s vibrant, fruit-driven profile.

Sea Cove is a collaboration with the Blampied family of Lake Road Winery, where the first vines were planted in 1975. Located at the eastern edge of New Zealand, these vineyards are among the first in the world to greet each day’s sunlight. The abundant sun and coastal climate encourage early ripening, yielding wines with vibrant tropical fruit, lifted aromatics, and immediate appeal. For three generations, the Blampied family has combined deep expertise with a commitment to innovation and quality. The estate is certified sustainable through Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand, both in the vineyard and the winery.
