Tasting Notes

Aroma: Classic Sauvignon Blanc aromas with appetizing tropical fruit and minerality. A delightfully fragrant and complex bouquet.

Palate: Bright, juicy, and elegant with refined acidity and ripe flavors. Good concentration and length on the palate, excellent structure, and a well-balanced finish.

Ten Sisters Sauvignon Blanc has a delightfully fragrant bouquet with underlying citrus aromas. Single-vineyard sourcing allows the terroir its full expression and elicits a purity of flavors. The palate is bright and elegant with refined acidity and ripe flavors. It has good concentration and length, excellent structure, and a well-balanced finish. The sauvignon blanc is given extended lees contact — more than the majority of Marlborough sauvignon blancs — to create complexity and to bring out fruit flavors. Excellent on its own or with seafood, chicken, pork, salads, and Asian food. No sugar added.

About Ten Sisters Winery

The Ten Sisters and their brother are fourth-generation New Zealanders and their ancestors were among the first to explore the southernmost tip of New Zealand and cultivate its land.

Their parents, Robert and Mary King, were both born in Invercargill, the southernmost city in the country. After Robert returned from World War II, he bought 750 acres of wild, uncultivated land and, over many years, created a beautiful farm.

He and Mary would eventually have 11 children, only one a son. As their family grew and children and grandchildren lived abroad, the family would often have reunions around the world, travelling together and sharing and developing their love of food and wine. Later in life, Robert and Mary moved to the sunniest part of New Zealand, Marlborough, and planted a vineyard on their land, fulfilling their longtime dream.
