Invivo X SJP Sauvignon Blanc 2022
(Marlborough, New Zealand) - [SK 95] [WS 93, #29 Top 100 of 2023] [JS 90]

Notes from the Winemaker:
Sarah Jessica Parker’s first ever wine was perfected only a few years ago when Invivo founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron travelled to New York City to create her new Sauvignon Blanc. Over a three-hour session, Sarah Jessica and the Invivo team finalized the proportions from each vineyard to create the exact blending recipe used in the wine. Now in its fourth vintage, they have gotten together again to produce this exceptional Kiwi Savvy B.

The Invivo X SJP Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of five estates in Marlborough, spanning both Wairau and Awatere Valleys with vines ageing from three to eleven years. Sarah Jessica loved the intensity of style from the Waihopai Valley and has blended that with pure fruit aromatics from the Western Wairau and the power and purity found in the Westhaven Vineyard in the Dashwood. The Westhaven vineyard is one of the last blocks of Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough to be harvested and so has an extremely long season to develop flavor and power. 

Tasting Notes:
Bright and expressionate aromas of lifted passionfruit, white florals and kaffir lime. The palate is concentrated with great vibrancy and a long, delicious finish.

95 Points, 5 Stars - Sam Kim's Wine Orbit:
“Brilliantly fruited and intensely aromatic, showing passionfruit, kiwifruit, kaffir lime and white floral aromas on the nose, leading to an immensely appealing palate that’s filled with vibrant fruit flavours combined with juicy acidity, finishing long and delicious."

93 Points & #29 Top 100 of 2023 - Wine Spectator Magazine:
"Leaps out of the glass with vivid aromas of passion fruit, pineapple and guava, with accents of sea salt, lime zest, ginger and white pepper minerality. Shows extra verve on the finish, with details of green tea and lemongrass. Drink now. 96,000 boxes made, 30,000 boxes imported." - MW (Jul 2023)

90 Points - James Suckling:
