The coq (ahem, rooster) on the label is the Vavasour family crest. Above it says “1986” – which is the year Peter Vavasour first planted vines in Marlborough’s Awatere Valley.
But the Vavasours’ history with Marlborough goes waaay back to the 1890s when they first landed there. In fact if you really dust off the history books you’ll find the Vavasours trace their ancestry back to the Norman invasion of England. They reckon one Vavasour ancestor was a wine taster for William the Conqueror. Serve up some bad wine and the bastard will have your head!
This latest 2024 vintage is an absolutely top shelf Marlborough SauvyB with yet another Gold at the NZ International Wine Show AND Gold at the Marlborough Wine Show AND Gold at the The National Wine Awards Aotearoa New Zealand!
A herbaceous, aromatic style Awatere Sauvignon drizzled in class.
Damn, you're looking young for your age!
