QUALITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE
The winds of destiny carried our founders to Marlborough, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island. It was here their real adventure began after experiencing its pristine beauty and distinctively delicious Sauvignon Blanc.
Today, we continue their adventure by exclusively crafting Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough fruit. The region’s long growing season, coupled with the cooling breezes funneled from the coast through the Wairau, Awatere and Southern Valleys, gives our wines an intense flavor profile and crisp acidity. Here’s to the wind in your hair, the sun on your skin, and the Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc in your glass.
THE MOST AWARDED NEW ZEALAND SAUVIGNON BLANC*
WHITEHAVEN
AWARD WINNING
“Fresh and aromatic, with lemon verbena and lemongrass flavors that are juicy and refreshing, a touch of salted lime and fresh-grated ginger, while pear and yuzu notes linger on the finish.”
EXPERIENCE MARLBOROUGH
Brighten the moment with our flagship Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc. This electrifying expression captures the lush and luminous essence of New Zealand’s most iconic wine region, Marlborough. Showcasing vivacious citrus notes, lemongrass, and green apple, accented by a crisp, herbaceous edge, the bright character of this wine is complemented by its balanced structure and long, clean finish.
Our 2023 vintage has been named one of Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines!

OUR MOST ELEGANT EXPRESSION OF MARLBOROUGH
WINDWARD
RESERVE TIER
AWARD WINNING
“Offers bright and juicy lemongrass, lemon thyme and fresh-grated ginger flavors, with details of pomelo and ruby grapefruit at the core and serious intensity on the finish.”
BRIGHT FLAVOR. BRILLIANT CHOICE.
Invigorate the moment with Windward, the very best of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Located in New Zealand’s “Golden Mile” of wine production, Whitehaven sources from 90 acres of its own vineyards and from a few exceptional growers across Marlborough’s Wairau, Southern and Awatere Valleys. Individual blocks in each vineyard are broken out to capture precise, site-specific characteristics of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, with only the top 5 of 150 blocks reserved for the meticulously crafted Windward.
Experience its aromatic intensity, elegant minerality (suggestive of sea spray) and vivid complexity against a backdrop of white peach and passion fruit, with a hint of crushed green herbs. Its appealing texture finishes long and bright.
Windward is limited in supply because it comes from our most select vines. Look for Windward in stores during your next trip to California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York or Texas.

For elegant meals, Windward is best paired with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster, or creamy goat cheese sprinkled with fresh herbs. For lighter fare, enjoy a salad of grapefruit supremes, atop chopped fresh cilantro and basil, dressed with freshly squeezed lime juice.
