The story of Waipara Hills Marl Sauv Blanc

Waipara Hills was established in 2001 in the Waipara Valley of North Canterbury, where its stone winery building stands among the vines and doubles as a cellar door and cafe. Its Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is the one wine in the line-up that comes from further north, alongside Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Riesling and rose from Waipara itself.

Krystal Palmer is the winemaker. She returned home to Marlborough after four years of travel, graduated from Lincoln University in viticulture and oenology in 2012 and has worked vintages in both Marlborough and Waipara, so the region is familiar ground. The winery's approach is to let each season's fruit show through.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ranges from the riper, more tropical wines of the Wairau Valley to the more herbaceous, mineral styles of the Awatere. This one leans bright and generous, which the winery sums up as juicy and loaded with bold citrus and refreshing tropical flavour.

Serve it cold. It does its best work with seafood and shellfish, a crunchy summer salad, or anything finished with lemon or garlic.
