Tiki Sauvignon Blanc

Cool-Climate Freshness with Precision and Purity.
Tiki Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant and finely balanced expression of North Canterbury, a region known for its cooler climate, limestone-influenced soils, and wines of natural tension and clarity. Sitting south of Marlborough, North Canterbury offers a more restrained, linear take on Sauvignon Blanc — one that prioritises freshness, minerality, and elegant aromatics over overt intensity.

This Sauvignon Blanc opens with crisp citrus and green orchard fruit, layered with subtle herbal notes and a distinctive mineral edge that reflects the region’s limestone-rich soils. On the palate, the wine is taut and refreshing, with lively acidity carrying flavours of lime, green apple, and grapefruit through to a clean, focused finish. There is a sense of energy and precision here, making the wine feel both refreshing and quietly complex.

For wine lovers in Ireland looking to explore New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc beyond the familiar, Tiki offers a compelling alternative. Fresh, expressive, and beautifully balanced, it’s a wine that highlights North Canterbury’s growing reputation for producing whites of real finesse and character.

Why we love it:
We love this wine for its clarity and cool-climate elegance. It delivers vibrant Sauvignon Blanc character, but with restraint and a lovely mineral backbone. Crisp, refreshing, and effortlessly drinkable, it’s a brilliant introduction to North Canterbury’s distinctive style.
