The Crushed Grape

Heart of Stone Sauvignon Blanc 2025

Regular price £14.45

A bright, zesty Sauvignon Blanc with citrus, gooseberry, and crisp everyday freshness. Clean, straightforward, and very easy to recommend.

The Heart of Stone Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant expression of Marlborough, New Zealand’s most celebrated wine region. Named for the stony soils that define its vineyards, this wine captures the essence of terroir: crisp, mineral-driven, and bursting with fresh fruit character. Marlborough’s combination of bright sunshine, cool nights, and gravelly soils produces Sauvignon Blanc of unmistakable intensity, and the 2025 vintage is a classic example.

In the glass, it shows lifted aromas of passionfruit, gooseberry, and lime zest, layered with notes of cut grass, fresh herbs, and stony minerality. The palate is lively and refreshing, brimming with citrus, tropical fruit, and herbal undertones, all carried by racy acidity that gives energy and length. Light to medium-bodied, it finishes crisp and dry, leaving a clean mineral freshness.

Crafted in a style that celebrates Marlborough’s natural vibrancy, the Heart of Stone Sauvignon Blanc 2025 is both approachable and elegant. Perfect with seafood, summer salads, or simply enjoyed chilled on a warm day, it’s a wine that speaks of place and purity.
