Earthsong Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough 2025

If you love a bang-on Marlborough Sauvignon packed with tropical fruit and grapefruit zing, this one's up your street. There's an extra layer too - a subtle saline bite and a jalapeño pepperiness that keeps things lively. Sourced from a single vineyard near the sea at Dillon's Point, the winemaking is refreshingly simple, letting the fruit shine. A touch of lees ageing adds texture, rounding out the vibrant flavours before a crisp, mineral-driven finish. Even the renowned Kiwi wine critic Bob Campbell MW was moved to sing its praises.

Great on its own, but even better with sushi or dim sum, it's a zingy, zesty sidekick to keep seafood and dumplings feeling fresh, bright, and downright delicious.

Earthsong is an offshoot of Thistledown Wines, the acclaimed Aussie producer known for their pure, expressive wines from particular sites in South Australia. This is their first venture into New Zealand, but their approach remains the same - sustainable farming, a hands-off winery approach, and a focus on letting the vineyards do the talking. The result? Poised, elegant wines that capture the unique character of New Zealand's terroir.
