The coq (ahem, rooster) on the label is the Vavasour family crest. Above it says “1986” – which is the year Peter Vavasour first planted vines in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley.
But the Vavasours’ history with Marlborough goes waaay back to the 1890s when they first landed there. In fact if you really dust off the history books you’ll find the Vavasours trace their ancestry back to the Norman invasion of England. They reckon one Vavasour ancestor was a wine taster for William the Conqueror. Serve up some bad wine and the bastard will have your head!
This latest 2023 vintage is an absolutely top shelf Marlborough SauvyB. It took our Trophy for Champion Sauvignon Blanc at the NZ International Wine Show – that’s two years in a row it’s won top spot at NZ’s largest international wine show!
The judges at the NZ International Wine Show said “Excellent fruit concentration, fresh tropical fruit with a touch of oyster shell minerality.”
A herbaceous, aromatic style Awatere Sauvignon drizzled in class.
