Tasting notes

Yealands believes in sustainable winemaking and creating thoughtfully crafted wines that work in harmony with our landscape.

Winemaker's notes
Carefully selected parcels of Sauvignon Blanc from our Awatere and Wairau Valley vineyards were used to craft this wine. At the winery, the fruit was gently pressed and the juice was cold settled for 72 hours. The clear juice was then racked off solids, followed by a long cool fermentation in stainless steel, to capture and enhance the fruit flavours. The wine was then blended, balanced, stabilised and filtered before bottling.
Leave the land better than we found it
Sustainability
At Yealands, we aim to leave the land better than we found it. We achieve this through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making our own special compost and using natural pest control measures in our vineyard.
