Three Brooms – Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc

For ten vintages, Three Brooms Sauvignon Blanc has earned 90 points or more from respected international wine critics—an achievement that speaks not only to quality, but to remarkable consistency. In winemaking, excellence isn’t measured by a single standout vintage. It’s measured by the ability to produce exceptional wines from one block, year after year, despite the changing conditions that every growing season brings.

Every vintage tells a different story. Weather patterns, harvest timing, and the pace of ripening all influence the final wine. Maintaining a consistently high standard over a decade requires more than experience—it demands an intimate understanding of the vineyard and a commitment to expressing its unique character in every bottle.

The story begins at Waverley Vineyard in Blind River, Marlborough. Situated close to the Pacific Ocean, the vineyard benefits from cooling sea breezes, mineral-rich soils, and a long growing season that encourages slow, even ripening. In the winery, Simon ferments the wine at exceptionally cold temperatures, preserving its vibrant aromatics, crisp acidity, and pure fruit expression while allowing the distinctive character of the vineyard to shine through in every vintage.

Three Brooms is crafted to showcase this unique site. Lees aging adds texture and depth, while layers of ripe citrus, melon, tomato leaf, lemongrass, dried herbs, and subtle stone fruit notes create a wine that is both expressive and refined. Its savoury edge and long finish make it equally compelling on its own or alongside food.

Our recent vertical tasting, featuring the 2016–2025 vintages, showcases the longevity and charisma of this wine.

Perhaps the greatest compliment to Three Brooms isn’t found in a single tasting note or vintage report. It’s the confidence that wine lovers and critics alike have returned to it year after year. Ten vintages rated 90 points or higher reflect a philosophy built on consistency, thoughtful viticulture, meticulous winemaking, and respect for one extraordinary vineyard.

For us, those scores are not the destination—they’re a reflection of the dedication behind every vintage and our commitment to crafting wines that faithfully express the character of Blind River.

As we celebrate our 20th vintage this year, we’re marking the occasion with the release of a limited number of wine maker signed Three Brooms Sauvignon Blanc magnums–created especially for our most devoted Three Brooms enthusiasts.

Last but not least.
