Isabel Estate Single Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Wine Advocate : 93 Points

(4/23/2026) The 2025 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc leads with spicy leaf herbs (coriander, jalapeño and the like). It's chalky and white accented, with sweet green pea and tonic water. This is a concentrated, punchy wine with plenty to offer in the way of texture and complexity. It's really good. 12.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

(2/10/2026) Fruit is sourced from the Isabel Estate vineyard in the Wairau Valley. A mix of clones, yeast strain and vineyard blocks; everything is considered here. The wine captures the spicy aroma of jalapeño, yellow plum and melon rind. Fresh ginger, agave and lemon juice. There are some lime and lemon candies that draw focus to the front palate, which is ripe and generous with a mesh of fine phenolics. This has lots to ponder and would be a treat with garden-grown nettle or bitter leaves.

James Suckling : 90 Points

(10/11/2025) Fresh, juicy and fruit-driven, with fresh lemons, limes and herbs on the nose. Light- to medium-bodied with zesty acidity. Succulent and refreshing, with a mouthwatering finish. Vegan. Sustainable. Drink now. Screw cap.
