About the wine
Mike's ultra-classy Marlborough nectar is back!
- Mike Paterson’s 92%-rated Elevation SB is one of our highest-rated Sauvignons ever. Over 10,000 Angels swear by it. And they drink us dry every year, and it's no wonder why...
- Mike uses only top-notch grapes from a single vineyard planted at a special elevation, to give the fruit extra finesse and flavour.
- Due to an untypically hot 2016 Mike had to pick this vintage early. So rather than your regular Marlborough fruit-bomb, it’s produced a seriously classy Sauvignon with oodles of complexity.
- There’s all the crunchy citrus-fruit freshness you’d expect from a great Kiwi, but with cheeky hints of green herbs and floral notes coming through. Served chilled, it’s summer in a glass.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mike Paterson
- Mike used to be the Head Winemaker at one of New Zealand's finest, most prestigious Sauvignon Blanc wineries.
- He loved the job, but he also loved the idea of fulfilling his life-long dream of going it alone. Only problem was, the financial equation was "beyond scary" (as Mike put it!)
- We funded Mike to go it alone on one tiny, simple, lovely condition: he makes you some absolute stunners in the wine department. With your backing, he’s been able to make some of the most consistently high-rated Sauvignons in the whole of New Zealand. Kudos to you.
