MOUNT RILEY SAUVIGNON BLANC MARLBOROUGH 2024

In the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand's premier wine region, Mount Riley stands as a testament to five generations of local heritage under the stewardship of John Buchanan, who founded this true family winery in 1992. The family's diverse vineyard portfolio—particularly the Dillon Vineyard with its free-draining shingle soils overlooking the Richmond ranges—creates the perfect terroir for their exceptional Sauvignon Blanc. This vibrant expression captivates with electric aromas of lime zest, gooseberries, and feijoa, leading to a weighty yet refined palate where the region's characteristic bright acidity brilliantly balances the intense tropical and citrus flavors, creating a crisp, sophisticated finish that perfectly captures Marlborough's distinctive maritime influence.
