Sauvignon Blanc has been a flagship wine for Hunter’s since the winery’s very beginning in 1979. This is the varietal that introduced Hunter’s (and New Zealand wine in general) to the world back in 1986 at London’s Sunday Times Wine Festival. The classically styled Sauvignon Blanc shows passionfruit and citrus characters along with grapefruit and green herbs. Dry and saline, the lively palate has a creamy texture and a juicy finish. The multi layered palate is rich and complex with a dense fruit core. These flavours and aromas leave a fresh lingering finish on the palate making it a full satisfying wine with balanced acidity.
"A lovely bouquet with an attractive core of ripe citrus and tropical fruits along with floral and soft lees quality adding complexity. Fleshy, fruity, varietal and delicious on the palate, a satin texture, contrasting acid line and a return to the flavours of citrus and tree fruit with a fine tropical quality. Well made with best drinking from 2025 through 2028+."

Jane Hunter was one of the first to recognize the vast potential of Marlborough, located in the northeastern part of New Zealand's South Island, for producing wine. Alongside her late husband Ernie, Jane founded Hunter's Wines in the scenic Wairau Valley in 1983. Since its establishment, Hunter's Wines has consistently crafted wines with a unique and exceptional character. Jane's guiding principle is to produce wines that are not only of high quality but also offer excellent value.
Jane has earned both national and international acclaim for her significant contributions to the New Zealand wine industry. Hunter's Wines has been awarded more than 60 gold medals in competitions worldwide. A notable achievement was in 1992 when the 1991 Sauvignon Blanc received a gold medal and the prestigious Marquis de Goulaine Trophy as the 'Best Sauvignon Blanc in the World' at the International Wine & Spirit Competition. In 1995, Hunter's Wines secured the inaugural Black Diamond Award at the InterVin International Wine Competition, recognizing the winery with the most gold medals.
After three decades in the industry, Jane was honored with induction into the New Zealand Wine Hall of Fame in 2013. In 2016, she was further recognized with the Wine Marlborough Lifetime Achievement Award for her outstanding contributions to Marlborough wine.
