Alpine Rift
Nestled between New Zealand’s Southern Alps and the pristine water of the Pacific Ocean lies a major geological faultline, millennia in the making.
Mountains provide shelter from wild westerly winds, while ancient glacial soils and a cool, sunny climate create the perfect conditions for Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It is here that Alpine Rift carves a new path in refinement and elegance.
Friends Stuart Dudley, Richard Ellis, and David Nash each established themselves individually in the industry before coming together to create Alpine Rift, a Sauvignon Blanc that highlights the wine region they all love.
The fruit is sourced from exceptional sites across Marlborough’s Southern Valleys, Central Wairau Plains, and Awatere Valley. A portion is fermented in old oak barrels, bringing a new level of richness and complexity to this crisp, classic style.
