The Jumper Sauvignon Blanc 2025


Flavor Profile
The Jumper is a classically styled light-bodied New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, bursting with delicious stone- and tropical fruit flavors, with zesty lime accents.
It’s crafted by James Macdonald, nephew to Jane Hunter (“The First Lady of New Zealand Wine”) and winemaker at Hunter’s Wines, one of the most renowned family estates in the premium Marlborough region. James has traveled all over the globe, honing his craft at top wineries around the world (the name “The Jumper” is a nod to his globetrotting antics).
New Zealand wine expert Sam Kim fell for The Jumper’s charms a few vintages ago, rating it 4 out of 5 stars. “This is attractively aromatic on the nose showing nectarine, feijoa, lime zest and dill characters, leading to a lively palate that delivers pristine fruit intensity backed by crisp acidity," he remarked. "The wine is immediately appealing with plenty of vibrant, tasty flavors.”
Rated 94 points by critic Sally Duncan, this new release is just as delectable. It will be a great match for a wide array of seafood dishes and mildly spicy Asian cuisine.
Just like its maker, this fine Sauvignon Blanc won’t stay idle for long—between high global demand for New Zealand Sauvignon and The Jumper’s legions of thirsty fans, it’s sure to sell fast. Act now to secure your share of this perennial bestseller.
