- Wine columnist Dennis Knill gives his views on Yealands’ vintage offerings
With summer on our doorstep, wine lovers are sure to find their way to any one of a number of cellar doors throughout the country.
And with so many wineries to choose from, visitors to Marlborough should not overlook a visit to Yealands Estate.
Internationally acclaimed for producing high quality wines, Yealands is also recognised for sustainable wine tourism practices as the first winery in the world to be accredited Carbon Zero.
As one of our most prominent producers, Yealands is also one of our largest.
In the space of 25 years, Yealands has transformed itself into one of New Zealand’s largest success stories with quality wines that can be found all around the world.
Don’t pass up on these three well priced vintages:
’24 Yealands Estate Reserve sauvignon blanc, RRP $21. No other region in New Zealand produces the vibrant flavours like Marlborough. Fresh and alive with herbaceous flavours makes for easy drinking. Pair with seafood, chicken and leafy salads.
’24 Yealands Estate Single Vineyard sauvignon blanc, RRP $30. Refreshingly dry with a lasting well-rounded crisp finish displaying great complexity and structure. Lots of class for this price. Serve with salmon, turkey, pork and veal schnitzel.
’24 Yealands Babydoll sauvignon blanc, RRP $20. Another excellent example showing a crisp dryness, and light acidity with an alluring bouquet that lingers on the palate. A reasonably priced wine that will appeal. Serve with fish, pork and roast chicken.
