EMMA MARRIS SAUVIGNON BLANC 2025

TASTING NOTE

Lifted aromas of lime and juniper unfold alongside bright accents of bell pepper. White peach and guava lend a tropical weight to the palate, while the distinct leafiness adds green tension. This wine is taut yet layered, with salty citrus gliding into a fine, mineral-driven finish.

FOOD MATCHING

A delicious match with sambal garlic prawns.

ORIGIN

Leefield Station Vineyard, Waihopai Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand.

FROM THE WINEMAKER

Crafting Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough is an opportunity to proudly embrace and carry forward my family’s legacy. This wine expresses the essence of our Leefield Station Vineyard, made from premium fruit selected for its concentration of flavours and optimal balance.

Following gentle pressing a portion of the juice is chilled cloudy for up to two weeks. Homogenisation twice daily encourages an abundance of aroma and flavour precursors from the solids into the juice
while also enhancing the natural texture. After this process (known as stabulation), the juice is clarified and fermented cool in stainless steel to preserve aromatic freshness.

This wine is filtered and bottled following a short period of time on yeast lees.

VINTAGE

One of Marlborough’s larger harvests due to near optimal flowering and fruit set conditions during the final months of 2024. The 2025 growing season began with budburst under warm, sunny weather, allowing vines to make full use of the ample soil moisture retained from winter and the majority of spring was fortunately frost free.

Throughout the early part of the season, Marlborough experienced warm, sunny, and relatively dry conditions, despite a few intense rain events in late October and again mid to late December. The key summer ripening period continued this pattern of favourable weather – warm, sunny, and dry – even though January ranked among the coolest since 2000.

Harvest commenced under sunny skies in March and concluded a month later.
