WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES:
"The sexy Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough!"
Think you know Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc? Think again. Listen to Jules describe the “On The Quiet” Single Vineyard Barrel Fermented Sauvignon Blanc.
✨ Tasting Highlights:
- Wild fermentation + barrel aging
- Notes of citrus curd, flint, and toasted almond
- Creamy texture, long finish, cellaring potential
PERFECT PAIRINGS:
Rich, textured, and unlike any Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc you’ve tasted — Jules' On The Quiet Barrel Fermented Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc deserves a bold, flavour-packed pairing.
Jules loves it with Halloumi & smashed garlic potatoes with seasonal salsa. The wine’s creamy texture and flinty edge complement the salty halloumi and roasted garlic, while its vibrant acidity lifts the freshness of the salsa.

VINEYARD NOTES:
This single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc started life in the Altimarloch Vineyard, nestled high in the Upper Awatere Valley of Marlborough. The elevated, windswept site delivers low yields of intensely flavoured fruit, thanks to its cool climate, alluvial soils, and long ripening season. Jules loves the intensity and broad array of flavours she finds there — the perfect foundation for a very special wine.

WINE TECHNICAL NOTES:
CELLARING NOTES
✔️ Drink now for elegant balance between tropical mango, pineapple, guava and crushed herbs, combined with toasted pecans and hazelnuts.
✔️ Cellar for 5–7 years to allow fruit to soften and integrate, while savoury, smoky undertones and creamy lees character will become more pronounced and complex.
Built for serious cellaring, this wine will evolve beautifully over time.
