Estate Range
2025 Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc
Mount Riley's Estate Range (pictured right) is great quality and value. Each wine in this range is fresh with pure, vibrant fruit flavours and aromas.
The 25 season began early, with an excellent flowering period leading to full bunches and initial estimates
pointed towards higher than average yields. Fortunately, the weather in the run up to harvest was very kind.
Sensational dry conditions from Christmas through to harvest ensured there were no disease issues. Cooler
temperatures throughout January and February were beneficial in slowing down sugar accumulation and
extending the ripening period allowing a longer hang time laying the foundation for more aromatic intense
fruit
Our 2025 Sauvignon Blanc is a blend from multiple vineyard sites throughout Marlborough, with a portion
from the Awatere Valley and the balance from the Wairau Valley. Grapes were crushed and destemmed
prior to pressing and fermentation was induced by the introduction of carefully selected yeast strains. We
fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures to preserve the lifted aromatics in this wine.
