A slightly pared-back take on the quintessential Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Expect fresh citrus, green apple and subtle tropical notes, with the bright acidity New Zealand Sauvignon is known for. Light, refreshing and easy to drink, it’s a reliable choice.

The Darling is a Marlborough project founded by winemaker Chris Darling and viticulturist Bart Arnst, shaped by a shared focus on balance, drinkability and regional expression. With Bart overseeing the vineyards and Chris guiding the winemaking, the pair work closely with local growers and take a light-touch approach in the cellar, allowing the fruit to speak clearly and honestly. The result is a range that feels polished yet relaxed, thoughtful wines that reflect both place and purpose.
