Split Rock Nelson Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand 2025

Split Rock Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp dry white wine with classic lemon-lime zest aromas, followed by an enticing hint of orange blossom. The palate is elegant and also exhilarating, displaying mouthwatering gooseberry, peas-in-a-pod and vibrant citrus flavors.

New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most exciting whites, and the award-winning Split Rock Sauvignon Blanc comes from the oldest winery on New Zealand’s famous South Island.

Hermann Seifried built his boutique family cellar in 1973 with the help of the local church. Today, his son is at the helm and continues to produce terrific wines—like this quintessential Sauvignon Blanc, with its zingy aromas and mouthwatering citrus flavors. It’s crafted from a special selection of grapes from the family’s estate vineyards and takes its name from Hermann’s favorite picnic spot, scenic Split Apple Rock in nearby Able Tasman National Park.

 

Like all of New Zealand’s fine whites, Split Rock is kept fresh under screwcap. A treat on its own, it makes an elegant aperitif. Or, try it with a variety of seafood, from grilled shrimp to your sushi favorites.
