This single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc displays profound passionfruit and blackcurrant notes from arguably the most awarded vineyard in Marlborough. In what can only be described as a blockbuster, the Ahi Kā Blackmore is a tropical-fruit driven Sauvignon Blanc that is accompanied by vibrant acidity and a richly textured saline palate. It is hallmark of the famed Dillons Point sub-region.
- 94 POINTS - EXCELLENT "Pungent, powerful, varietal and loud bouquet of place and style with aromas of angelica leaf and tropical fruits, fresh apple flesh and white pineapple, grapefruit flesh and saline rich sea air. On the palate the flavours remerge one by one led by the aciidty and fresh herbs, salinity and core fruit flavours especially the citrus then apple and tropical. Punchy and fresh, well made and ready for drinking from 2024 through 2029." Cameron Douglas MS
- 5 STARS / 19 POINTS "Bright, even, pale yellow. The nose is fresh and distinctive, with aromas of gooseberry, tomato vine, green capsicum, stonefruit and floral hints. 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 (95 pts) Dec 2023"Candice Chow
