Beyond the Label

New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most exciting whites, and 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 Sauvignon Blanc, with its classic 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. Best of all, it sports 93 points from the Decanter World Wine Awards. Judges wrote:

“Gentle apple aromas with notes of citrus rind on the nose. Well made, fresh and straightforward palate with a vibrant acidity.”

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.

Word to the wise: after skyrocketing global demand and back-to-back tiny harvests, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is in shorter supply than ever before. Hurry to secure your share of our limited stocks.
