Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2022 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 90/100

Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2022 is a bright and expressive Sauvignon Blanc that really captures that classic Marlborough freshness. It opens with lively aromas of grapefruit, lime, passionfruit and white currant, layered with fresh-cut herbs and a touch of nettle. On the palate it feels clean and vibrant, with citrus, gooseberry and hints of white peach, all carried by crisp acidity and a lightly stony, refreshing finish. It is the kind of wine that feels energetic and easy to enjoy, with flavours that stay lifted and precise from start to finish. Fascinating fact: Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is known worldwide for its intense aromatics and zesty acidity, and Whitehaven is considered a classic example of the region’s signature style, balancing tropical fruit with herbal freshness. Serve it well-chilled.

Sauvignon Blanc food pairings: fish and chips, lentil and cold bean salad, goat cheese.
