Description
Unique, exuberant, intense. The explosive varietal that awoke the world to New Zealand wine. The explosive flavors of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc have dazzled wine critics throughout the world, setting the international benchmark for the style. In 1975, when Marlborough’s first Sauvignon Blanc vines were planted, no one could have predicted the superstar status that this variety would attain within a couple of decades. Sauvignon Blanc was commercially produced on our shores for the first time in the 1970s and is now New Zealand’s most widely planted variety and most popular.

From Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay to Rosé and Pinot Noir, The Little Sheep wines are crafted from the world's top wine production regions. They are created in a spirit of delivering quality and value with a sense of exploration. Each wine represents an opportunity to discover something new and celebrate the beauty that nature provides.
