Inspired by the adventurous spirit of the region, the name Swiftsure reflects the swift-running rivers that shape Marlborough’s landscape, including the Awatere River (‘Swift River’ in Māori). The vineyards are family-owned and planted in challenging sub-alpine terrain, where greywacke rock and ancient schist create a distinctive environment for growing wines of character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnapshot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegion: Marlborough\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCountry: New Zealand\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVintage: 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 750ml\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eABV: 13%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVarietal: Sauvignon Blanc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/new-zealand\" title=\"Buy New Zealand Wine Online\"\u003eExplore our New Zealand collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/actofwine.com.au\/collections\/sauvignon-blanc\" title=\"Buy Sauvignon Blanc Wine Online\"\u003eExplore our Sauvignon Blanc collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e","brand":"Swiftsure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46238485250297,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2650\/0856\/files\/Product_Image_ab638501-9cab-40d5-aa6d-269472b7b7b0.png?v=1776842815"},{"product_id":"2024-twr-sauvignon-blanc","title":"2024 TWR Sauvignon Blanc","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 19\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eAbout The Wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur aim with this, our classic style of Sauvignon Blanc, is to put 100% effort into making a wine that silences the doubters and restores faith in this region and the amazing quality of the wines from here.
