Jackson Estate Stich Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough 75cl

The Jackson and Stichbury families have farmed the free draining soils of Marlborough's Wairau River plains for more than 160 years. In recognition of John (Stich) Stichbury's pioneering spirit and hard work, the 'Stich' Sauvignon Blanc gained its name.
The vines in our Homestead vineyard, planted in 1989, are carefully managed to ensure low yields and are picked in small batches resulting in concentrated fruit. The character of this wine reflects its origins and season, on the nose lifted aromatic notes of zesty citrus and stone fruits and the palate showing lovely rock melon and key lime flavours, with a fine mineral concentration and a refreshingly good crisp acid finish.

Wine of New Zealand, New Zealand sustainable winegrowing

Jackson Estate embodies the very best of Marlborough New Zealand, the essence of Sauvignon Blanc. Jackson Estate is a special place, a testament to the vision and determination of the Stichbury & Jackson families who have farmed the land on the Wairau River plain at Jacksons Road for more than 160 years.
Since planting our pioneering Sauvignon Blanc vineyards three decades ago, time, tide and fortune have smiled on Jackson Estate, and the unparalleled affinity between Marlborough and Sauvignon Blanc has been spectacularly realised.
The acclaim Jackson Estate Sauvignon Blanc generates is based entirely on the merit of our mature, cool climate vineyards. Over twenty parcels of Sauvignon Blanc are made separately at our state of the art Marlborough winery, then blended to achieve Jackson Estate's style; distinctive aromatics, intensely flavoured and lively fruit, refreshingly crisp acidity and a long flavoursome finish.
Named for founder John 'Stich' Stichbury.

Jackson Estate was founded more than 25 years ago, after the first vines were planted on our estate in Marlborough, New Zealand by the Stichbury family, who have farmed the land on Jackson's Road for over 160 years.

2015

All blocks were harvested in the morning to reduce field heat and enhance flavour. Individually pressed to tank the batches were settled for 72 hours before racking the clear juice off for ferment. Juice was warmed and then inoculated using cultured yeast strains. Average fermentation lasted 3 weeks at mid to low temperatures to maximize aroma and flavour. Post fermentation the young wines were aged on light lees for up to 5 months prior to being blended and prepared for bottling early September 2015
