te Pa Sauvignon Blanc named on Wine Spectator Magazine Top 100

Wonderful news this week with te Pa Family Vineyards securing a spot on the prestigious and influential Wine Spectator Magazine Top 100 list for the first time. te Pa 2024 Sauvignon Blanc was awarded 90 points, which is defined as 'Outstanding: A wine of superior character and style'.

The Wine Spectator Top 100 list is decided by the magazine's senior editors who meet at the end of each year (blind tasting some 10,200+ new release wines in 2025 alone) and select 100 bottles from those wines that earned 90 points and higher. The magazine noted; "This list comprises 100 bottles that really caught our attention - and are worthy of yours."

The list is being promoted as 'The Year's 100 Most Exciting Wines'.

The wine was reviewed by Senior Editor and New Zealand wine critic, MaryAnn Worobiec, who shared the 90-point score and tasting note below:

"Appealing for its generous flavours of mandarin orange, passion fruit, lime zest and yuzu at the core. There's an appealingly fleshy, juicy texture and plenty of momentum on the finish, where lemon balm and ginger linger. Drink now".

A huge congratulations to our amazing Brand Partner - te Pa Family Vineyards - what a wonderful accolade to receive on the back of many other top honours this year.
