Our new-release Landmark Sur Lie Sauvignon Blanc 2026 is here, and there’s a little more to this Sauv.
It starts with fruit harvested in the cool of the Marlborough morning, gently pressed and fermented slowly in stainless steel to preserve those vibrant aromatics and fresh acidity. Then comes the patient part: six months resting on its lees, with regular stirring to build texture, depth and complexity.
“Sur lie” is French for “on the lees”, the fine yeast sediment left after fermentation. Giving the w**e time on those lees brings a softer, creamier mouthfeel and extra weight through the palate, alongside that lovely Sauvignon freshness.
And Cameron Douglas MS has given our latest release 94 points, Excellent, describing it as:
“Dry, taut, youthful, crisp and delicious, a w**e with varietal intensity, a decent palate squeeze, salivating and with a light saline quality.”
His review celebrates the layers of fruit, citrus and minerality, with lees adding complexity right across the palate.
We love doing our Sauvs our own way. A little patience in the w**ery, a little more texture in the glass, and plenty to get excited about.
