Yealand's Seaview Vineyard in the Awatere Valley is one of New Zealand’s most coastal vineyards. Breath-taking vistas of rolling hills and wild coastline define their wines. The strong offshore winds encourage the grapes to grow small with thickened skins and wonderfully concentrated characteristics. Yealands Estate Single Vineyard wines are the truest expression of their coastal location, showcasing their unique environment and diversity of flavours across this singularly incredible vineyard.

This wine is a blend of three different blocks located in the coastal eastern area of the Seaview Vineyard. The wine radiates the coastal influence blocks; with expressive aromatics and mineral backbone and length.

They were incredibly lucky to be granted permission to create these wines during the global pandemic crisis. For this reason, the 2020 wines carry some very unique memories.
The 2020 growing season was very dry, which meant disease pressure was low and some timely light rains kept just enough water flowing in their rivers. They had a classic Marlborough autumn with warm days and cool nights, which created this season’s Sauvignon Blanc with their signature fresh natural acidity and intense fruit flavours. They had fairly stable weather during Sauvignon Blanc flowering, with a small amount of rain affecting some of the later flowering areas, resulting in lighter crops and intense flavours.
The Sauvignon Blanc from this vintage is showing the wonderful typicity that their Seaview Vineyard is known for – highly aromatic fruit flavours of blackcurrant leaf and green citrus with a vibrant palate that is layered with an elegant mineral finish.
