2025 Sauvignon Blanc – Sutherland Road Vineyard | Mayhem Wines

Tasting Notes A vibrant Sauvignon Blanc sourced from Sutherland Road Vineyard on the Naramata Bench, capturing the freshness and precision of the 2025 vintage. Clean, crisp, and expressive in a Marlborough-inspired style, with lifted aromatics of passionfruit and guava layered alongside bright citrus notes. Subtle hints of anise spice from restrained barrel aging add complexity without overshadowing the fruit. Bright and focused on the palate, driven by vibrant acidity that brings freshness and precision. Lees aging builds weight and texture, elevating the wine beyond a purely fruit-forward style while maintaining clarity and balance. A fine mineral edge carries through to a clean, crisp, and refreshing finish. PAIRS WELL WITH A natural partner for fresh, vibrant dishes, this Sauvignon Blanc shines alongside oysters, grilled prawns, and ceviche. Its bright acidity cuts cleanly through goat cheese, vinaigrette-based salads, and herb-driven dishes, while the citrus and tropical notes complement flavours like lime, cilantro, and green herbs. Equally at home with light poultry, sushi, or simple summer fare, the wine’s balance of freshness and texture makes it versatile across a wide range of pairings. AVAILABILITY A focused and expressive release from the Naramata Bench, showcasing both varietal character and a strong sense of place. Only 419 cases produced.
