Walnut Block ‘Collectables’ Sauvignon Blanc · Marlborough, New Zealand · 2025

The Moment
This is the bottle that gets opened early — before dinner is fully decided, while friends are still arriving and the music is finding its rhythm. Easy, upbeat, and always welcome.

What It Feels Like
Juicy passionfruit and pink grapefruit lead the way, followed by lime zest, gooseberry, and a hint of fresh herbs. The palate is smooth and mouthfilling thanks to time on lees, giving it a little more texture than you expect, while bright acidity keeps everything clean and refreshing. The finish is crisp, pure, and quietly persistent.

Perfect For

• Mussels, seafood towers, or goat cheese

• Light salads and white meats

• When you want something familiar, polished, and crowd-approved

The Vibe Pairing

• Playlist energy: Upbeat indie, coastal pop, summer road-trip playlists

• Aura color: Bright citrus yellow with ocean blue

• Time of day: Late afternoon → golden hour

Why We Love It
It’s a textbook Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc — vibrant, expressive, and balanced — with just enough texture to keep it interesting and just enough brightness to keep the bottle moving.
