Small and Small Serious Sauvignon Blanc 2017 - Jeanie
About the wine
Seriously classy, full-bodied Marlborough Sauvignon
- Thanks to your votes in The Crush, Bill & Claudia got the funding to fulfil their winemaking dream and start the Serious Sauvignon project... the tongue-in-cheek name for the exploration of complex, full-flavoured Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
- Marlborough is a young wine region so it means the rules haven't been written yet. Plenty of opportunity for Bill & Claudia to create some magic.
- Using the same grapes as the Theordore Reserve, this wine has undergone some premium oak ageing in top-notch barrels. Jeanie is smokey, complex and elegant without losing that fun and flair you expect from a Marlborough.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bill & Claudia Small
- Husband and wife team Bill and Claudia went it alone thanks to Angel funding over a decade ago. Since then, they've gone on to become Naked legends.
- Using your Angel funding, the Smalls have built close relationships with grape growers ‘in the bits of Marlborough they love’ to make lovingly crafted gems from some of the best fruit going.
- With you behind them, your King and Queen of Marlborough have gone from strength to strength. You’re the reason they make some of the highest-rated Sauvignons in the whole of New Zealand. Kudos to you.
