Description

The 2024 Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc is everything you want from Marlborough in one neat, vibrant package. Sourced from both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, it blends the best of both worlds - bright tropical aromatics from the Wairau fruit and a fresh, mineral-driven edge from the cooler, wind-swept Awatere sites.

Named after a legendary vineyard worker known for his strength and generosity, Russian Jack is a wine that doesn’t overpromise but always delivers. It’s crisp and lively, with plenty of citrus and passionfruit character, backed by a mouth-watering acidity that keeps things snappy. Wild ferment? Fancy oak? Not here. This is a straight-up, no-fuss take on Sauvignon Blanc made to be enjoyed young and fresh.

Perfect for sunny days, seafood, or just catching up with mates over a bottle that won’t break the bank.

A distinctively Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Vibrant and punchy aromas of passionfruit and citrus lead the way with delicate herbaceous notes. A lively palate driven by tropical fruits, citrus zest & juicy green apple leads to a moreish acidity & a long, lively finish.

Our 2024 Sauvignon Blanc is comprised of fruit from our Wairau and Awatere Valley vineyards. The Wairau Valley contributes grapefruit and passionfruit aromatics, while the Awatere Valley brings a crisp acidity and distinct minerality that is characteristic of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.

Marlborough is New Zealand’s premier wine growing region located at the north-eastern tip of the South Island. Reputed as one of the top viticultural areas in the world, Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough is known for its extraordinary purity, bright aromatics and wet stone minerality.

Russian Jack is a Kiwi Legend. Originally from Latvia, his thick accent earned him the nickname ‘Russian Jack’ when he arrived in New Zealand in 1912. He spent most of his life travelling thecountry on foot picking fruit, clearing scrub and befriending locals. He was honoured with a bronze statue after his death in 1968. Russian Jack wines are an ode to the hard work of ‘swaggers’ like him who we have to thank for some of our great vineyards today.

Food Pairing: Try with mussel fritters or fresh seafood.
