About the Wine
The nose offers an aromatic blend of tropical fruits, grilled lime and fresh herbs, and the palate is well-balanced, with ripe fruit, crisp acidity and a hint of stony minerality. Vibrant tropical flavours carry through to a clean, lingering finish.
"Punchy, aromatic, silken-textured sauvignon blanc with tropical fruit/passionfruit, cut grass, lime/citrus, lemongrass and oyster shell flavours supported by vibrant acidity. Bright, fresh wine in a classic Marlborough style."
93 points. Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
About Swiftsure
Swiftsure is a new collection from the team behind Man O’ War, focusing on the rugged landscapes of New Zealand’s south with wines from Marlborough and Bannockburn. 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.
