Brancott Estate was literally there when Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc became a thing back in 1975, and they've been crafting striking versions ever since, from naturally lower alcohol to sparkling to oak-infused. They're also credited with reviving Sauvignon Gris, a varietal that was basically extinct until they brought it back. Their wines have found fans in over 50 countries, which tracks when you taste that bright, fresh Marlborough character they're always chasing.
