Anchorage Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Estate & Philosophy
Motueka Winemakers and Growers is a proudly family-owned and operated winery, based in beautiful Nelson wine region. Our hands-on approach and deep local roots drive everything we do — from vine to bottle. We believe great wine starts with great land, and the rich Motueka soils, coastal breezes, and consistently high sunshine hours offer the perfect environment for crafting expressive, aromatic varietals. Our goal is simple: to create vibrant, everyday wines that over-deliver on quality, character, and pure drinking pleasure.

Winemaking
Harvested in the cool mornings of early April, fruit from our Flett Road and Umukuri Road vineyards was brought in at optimal ripeness to preserve purity and tension. Grapes were gently pressed, and the juice cold-settled before undergoing a cool fermentation in stainless steel. This approach retains the Sauvignon Blanc’s signature aromatics and delivers a crisp, finely textured palate with vibrant varietal expression.

Tasting Note
Vibrant and expressive, this Sauvignon Blanc opens with alluring aromas of passionfruit, redcurrant and lime. The palate is crisp and refreshing, revealing flavours of green apple alongside a delicate herbal character. Bright, zesty acidity provides balance and leads to a clean, mouth-watering finish.
