First Sun Gisborne Sauvignon Blanc 2025

New Zealand Sauvignon from the North Island, bursting with vibrant mandarin and guava
From a region blessed with being the first to see the dawn rise each day comes this guava-fresh Sauvignon Blanc. That place is Gisborne on New Zealand’s North Island. Ripened in the early morning sun and cool fermented, this is zesty and crisp.

For this lively Kiwi Sauvignon Blanc, we didn’t follow the well-trodden path to New Zealand’s Marlborough region. Instead, our buyer trekked to the most easterly edge of the North Island, to a uniquely situated vineyard in Gisborne, on the furthest, easternmost point of the coast.

It’s the first place in the world to see the dawn rise each new day. There, bright sunlight coupled with sea breezes give this white wine its vibrant guava and mandarin fruit and lime-zest freshness.

So crisp and so refreshing, it’s the perfect glass to enjoy on its own. And also makes a terrific partner to many seafood or spicy Asian dishes.
