*Vintage may vary by location* 



Section 94 is widely regarded as the most distinctive and greatest Sauvignon Blanc made in New Zealand today.  James Healy and Ivan Sutherland were among the first to begin fermenting their Sauvignon in barrel with wild yeasts,  a technique that along with the old vines from which they source, leads to a full-bodied wine that is less fruit-forward,  more exotic, with immense textural complexity.

WS The Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Stunning, with a complex, aromatic mix of beeswax, litsea oil, vetiver and honeysuckle notes up front, followed by ripe peach, melon and lemon curd flavors at the juicy core. Reveals whiffs of grilled lemon and smoke that swirl around the flavors, as well as a hint of crushed rock minerality on a supple, seamless frame. Gains momentum on the epic finish.

Layers of crushed stones, smoked almonds, green apples, lemon pith, white pepper, licorice and oyster shells. It's so powerful and concentrated. Tightly wound and phenolic with a medium body and sharp acidity. Intense, and just keeps going. Always a sophisticated and complex sauvignon blanc. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
