Cuvar
Iris Sauvignon Blanc 2023 750ml

Marlborough had a picture-perfect 2023 harvest with cool nights and clear blue sky days. Tasting the fruit prior to harvest you could imagine the wine it eventually would make. We had the luxury to harvest at the optimal time.

The wine comes from Ballochdale vineyard in Awatere Valley in Marlborough. 

The vineyard is on an isolated peninsular of land that is surrounded by very deep ravines covered in 30ha. of native bush which is now a conservation area closed to grazing. The vineyard holds itself proud 300 meters above sea level. It’s altitude, sheltered northerly aspect and spectacular inland location provide a high diurnal temperature range, evenness of and suitability of soils that combined, give us the ability to grow grapes and produce wines of identity and intensity. The space is soul food for winemakers and visitors alike.
