"Bright and fresh bouquet, fresh fruits with a light herbaceous quality. Crisp and dry on the palate with core fruit flavours of green apple and gooseberry. There’s a light lees and mineral quality and crunchy salivating mouthfeel. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2026" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

In the glass, it shines a pale green with brilliant clarity. Aromatically, it’s lively and fresh—tropical aromas leap out first, followed by passionfruit and grapefruit. The palate is fresh and full, with layers of gooseberry, blackcurrant, and a citrus burst. There’s a distinct mineral line that carries through to a crisp, clean finish, balanced by a subtle off-dry sweetness that adds generosity and length. Bright, varietal, and intensely flavoured, this is classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with a bold Fire Road edge. Enjoy now or let it evolve over the next 2–3 years.

Sourced from key vineyards in Wairau and Southern Valleys of Marlborough, the fruit was machine harvested at peak ripeness. It was quickly pressed and cool-fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity and vibrancy.

Born from resilience and intensity, the 2025 Fire Road Sauvignon Blanc is a bold expression of Marlborough’s iconic style, shaped by the region’s hot, dry climate and a deep-rooted viticultural legacy. Named after Marlborough’s most devastating fire, which scorched over 6,000 hectares and threatened the wine town of Blenheim, this wine reflects both the power of nature and the strength of the land.
