This Australian (Yarra Valley-based) brand has bottled an excellent Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It's plump and ample in the mouth, while the aromas are laced with hints of struck flint, snow pea, celery leaf and gooseberry, all woven into fine balance and possessing a long, mouthwatering finish.

This bright and zesty wine couldn't be mistaken for anything other than a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Exuberant aromas of lemon zest, passion fruit, lime oil and freshly sliced green bell pepper and jalapeño burst from the glass. The palate is fresh and feisty yet textural and balanced, with green herbal and pepper notes flowing into an oyster shell saline finish. Christina Pickard

This crisp and refreshing wine checks all the Marlborough SB boxes by showcasing a perfume of lime and stone fruit notes, neatly wound by green bell pepper, dried herbs and nettle characters. Acidity is bright and lifted but not overwhelming, and the finish has length and flavor. Christina Pickard

This Yarra Valley based Australian brand delivers a solid and unmistakably Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. It's a heady blend of stone and tropical fruits, blossoms, snow peas and jalapeño pepper. There's some fruit weight on the palate and a touch of oiliness, but the sunny acidity keeps everything bright and bouncy. Christina Pickard
