There is a precision and energy that defines the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, and Yealands Single Block S1 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024 captures that cool-climate signature with striking clarity. Sourced from a single vineyard block and crafted in a vegan-friendly style, this flagship release showcases the purity and intensity that has made Awatere Sauvignon Blanc famous worldwide.

The nose is vibrant and expressive, bursting with passionfruit, grapefruit and tropical fruit, layered over lifted blackcurrant leaf and fresh herbal notes. On the palate, classic green apple, pea pod, romaine lettuce and zesty lime characters shine, underscored by a subtle saline edge that adds savoury complexity. Concentrated yet elegant, the wine is finely textured with lively acidity and a strong mineral drive, finishing long, crisp and refreshingly precise.

This highly acclaimed release was awarded Gold at the New Zealand International Wine Show 2025 and received 93 points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine, while the previous vintage achieved a Trophy and an impressive 96-point rating at the International Wine Challenge — reinforcing its status as one of Marlborough’s benchmark single vineyard Sauvignon Blancs.

Yealands S1 is superb with freshly shucked oysters, grilled prawns, salt and pepper calamari or pan-seared white fish with lemon. It also pairs beautifully with goat’s cheese salads, Thai green curry or asparagus risotto, where its bright acidity and herbal lift enhance every bite.

A pure expression of Awatere Valley Sauvignon Blanc, this 2024 vintage delivers intensity, elegance and world-class pedigree in every glass.
