Our Ahi Ka Blackmore Sauvignon Blanc is a powerful and focused single vineyard wine, grown with meticulous care. Displaying profound passionfruit and blackcurrant notes from arguably the most awarded vineyard in Marlborough, the 2024 vintage is truly something special. In what can only be described as a blockbuster, this is a tropical-fruit driven Sauvignon Blanc that is accompanied by vibrant acidity and a richly textured palate. 

A perfect match with freshly shucked oysters.

Medium-light bodied, aromas of peach melded with gooseberry, guava, tomato vine, capsicum and elderflower. The fruit is pure with an elegant presence, enlivening acidity, and flows softly with delicate spice and stony minerals to a harmonious, refreshing closing. This is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc presented with elegance and details. Match with diamond clams and sole fish over the next 3 years. Fruit from Blackmore vineyard in Dillons Point fermented to 13% alc. 19/20 pts (95s pts) Dec 2023"{ Candice Chow
