The 2024 Russian Jack Sauvignon Blanc is everything you want from Marlborough in one neat, vibrant package. Sourced from both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, it blends the best of both worlds – bright tropical aromatics from the Wairau fruit and a fresh, mineral-driven edge from the cooler, wind-swept Awatere sites.Named after a legendary vineyard worker known for his strength and generosity, Russian Jack is a wine that doesn’t overpromise but always delivers. It’s crisp and lively, with plenty of citrus and passionfruit character, backed by a mouth-watering acidity that keeps things snappy. Wild ferment? Fancy oak? Not here. This is a straight-up, no-fuss take on Sauvignon Blanc made to be enjoyed young and fresh.Perfect for sunny days, seafood, or just catching up with mates over a bottle that won’t break the bank.
