Churton Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 'Best End' 2017
Vintage Character
The 2017 vintage in Marlborough presented a cool spring followed by a late summer, leading to Sauvignon Blancs with vibrant acidity and pronounced aromatic character. Churton Wines Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 'Best End' 2017 is crafted from the estate’s highest, north-facing parcel, showcasing lifted notes of citrus blossom, gooseberry, and freshly cut grass, alongside subtle mineral hints and delicate tropical fruit.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The palate is precise and taut, revealing layers of lime zest, elderflower, and flinty undertones, all supported by a crisp, saline backbone and an elegant, lingering finish. This wine’s purity and texture make it a versatile partner for food; it pairs beautifully with classic goat cheese, fresh oysters, or Chinese steamed fish with ginger and scallion, where its zesty brightness enhances delicate flavors and balances richer textures.
Winery Background
Founded in 1997 by Sam and Mandy Weaver, Churton Wines is recognized for its commitment to organic and biodynamic viticulture, emphasizing minimal intervention and respect for the land. The estate is situated on the southern hills of Marlborough, where clay-rich soils and elevated vineyard sites contribute complexity and finesse to their wines. Churton’s philosophy is rooted in producing site-expressive, age-worthy wines with a European sensibility, marrying New Zealand’s vibrancy with Old World structure. Their dedication to sustainable practices and precise vineyard management has established Churton as a benchmark producer in Marlborough, consistently delivering wines of clarity, balance, and authentic character.
