Russian Jack Estate Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Tasting Notes

Named after the legendary Russian Jack — a towering Marlborough character who walked the length of New Zealand in the 1860s — this Sauvignon Blanc has real personality to match its colourful backstory. Aromas of grapefruit, gooseberry and fresh-cut grass burst from the glass with characteristic Marlborough verve. On the palate, zingy acidity carries flavours of lime, nettle and a whisper of green capsicum, building to a clean, refreshing finish. A crowd-pleasing, story-rich wine that earns its place on any wine list.
