Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Aubert rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

The Orange Label is one of Sacred Hill’s premium wines. The sauvignon blanc grapes benefited from superb ripening conditions in the warm micro-climate of the Wairau Valley of Marlborough, and they really shine in this wine. A portion of the grapes were also sourced from the cooler Awatere Valley, which contributes the more minerally, grassy and citrus-y aspects. This is not your average sauvignon blanc. A varietal that is typically light in body, this one definitely has a bit more weight, with lots of guava, passion fruit, a hint of flowers and grassy notes.

Inside sources tell me the 2015 vintage is all but sold out, so if you can get your hands on this wine, stock up!
