This wine possesses ripe and generous aromatics of stonefruit, guava and lychee. Some lovely citrus and floral elements lend elegance and restraint. The palate is dry but full of fleshy fruit and finishes with a hint of salinity. Delicate phenolics frame the exotic gooseberry and passionfruit flavours.

te Pā Reserve Collection Seaside Sauvignon Blanc is a generous and fruity white wine displaying a nose of tropical flavours as well as the herbal flavours we know and love from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. This wine belongs to the te Pā Reserve collection, showcasing some of the estate’s finest wines. One other notable example is the Hillside Sauvignon Blanc, a counterpart of Seaside – so called due to the locations of their vineyards. Despite being vinified in exactly the same way as its Hillside counterpart, Seaside is strikingly different. These wines are a brilliant illustration of the importance of terroir to New Zealand winemaking.

Based in the Marlborough Region, te Pā has a history stemming back almost 800 years. Set up by the MacDonald family whose Maori lineage goes back to 1350, the te Pā estate spreads over 400Ha of vineyards in Marlborough’s Wairau and Awatere regions. 

Enjoy te Pā Reserve Collection Seaside Sauvignon Blanc as an aperitif or with light fish dishes like tuna ceviche.
