Vavasour Awatere Valley Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2026

Since 1986 · 40 years of Vavasour: the founding winery of Marlborough’s smaller, cooler Awatere Valley.

The 2026 Vavasour Sauvignon Blanc marks a fitting expression of the winery’s 40-year

journey.

“Forty vintages have taught us that great Sauvignon Blanc is never rushed. Every vintage builds on the last, shaped by experience, refined by the valley, and crafted to capture the elegance and energy that make Awatere unique.” - Stu Marfell, Vavasour Winemaker

Vavasour Awatere Valley Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2026 is bursting with green tropical fruit, fresh herbs, snow peas and blackcurrant, with a distinctive Awatere oyster-shell minerality. The palate is generous and concentrated, layered with citrus zest, lush tropical fruit and subtle herbal notes. Bright acidity brings freshness and precision, leading to a long, elegant finish. A versatile match for fresh seafood, soft cheeses, creamy pasta, salads and Asian-inspired, spice-driven dishes.
