Sourced entirely from vineyards located in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley, this Sauvignon Blanc is a unique expression of Marlborough’s high altitude vineyards, a vibrant wine with freshness and length.

With texture and complexity, fruit for this wine is grown using organic practices on the Arapoto block, high above the Awatere River. Richly textured, complex, uniquely Awatere.
Since 1885, the Vicente Gandía seal gives all its products common characteristics: high quality, reasonable prices, and stability between one harvest and another. Wines that transmit elegance, complexity, softness and balance.
Today, you can find Vicente Gandía in 90 countries on 5 continents, as the largest winery in the Valencian Community. In addition, in 2014 it won the award for the best Spanish winery in the prestigious international competition AWC Vienna. That same year, the World Association of Writers and Journalists of Wines and Spirits included it in their ranking of the top 50 wineries in the world. In 2018, the European Congress of Enogastronomic Brotherhoods (CEUCO) awarded the “Aurum Europa Excellente” Prize to Vicente Gandía as “Best European Winery”, reconfirmed also in 2022.
Vicente Gandía Patacona’s line is produced between Utiel-Requena and Valencia and its wines are available in white and red. You can choose from reds as fruity Garnacha or the slightly firmer Tempranillo. While for whites, you can choose from the tropical Verdejo and this fresh Sauvignon Blanc.
Thinking differently is what they do at Yealands. Crafting award-winning wines in harmony with nature has seen us lead the world in sustainable winegrowing. But most importantly, it means great tasting wines which don’t cost the earth.
The S1 block Sauvignon Blanc comes from a sun soaked site, moderated by cool, coastal breezes on our Seaview Vineyard. The subsequent style and flavours reflect this terroir, with flavours of ripe nectarine and a lush, full palate balanced by mouth-watering mineral acidity.
At Yealands, the aim is to leave the land better than we found it. This is achieved through a wide range of initiatives and on-going projects including developing wetlands, making their own special compost and using natural pest control measures in the vineyards.
