Region: New Zealand
Sub-region: Marlborough

Sauvignon Blanc
Sauvignon Blanc 375
Riesling
Chardonnay
Pinot Noir

Situated at the northern tip of the South Island, Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest and most successful wine producing area. It is renowned for the production of exuberantly fruity Sauvignon Blanc. The Isabel Estate vineyard is one of the largest privately owned wine estates in Marlborough. Yields for the production of Isabel Estate wines are restricted by pruning to low bud numbers and, where necessary, leaf and bunch thinning to ensure that fruit quality is optimized.“We aim to make inspired wines that are a strong expression of the individual style and character, as determined by the vineyard site and soil.”

Isabel produces outstanding Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and a late-harvest SB, “Noble Sauvage”. These are wines of amazing substance and style.

Patricia Green uses a meticulous system to categorize her wines by source in order to ensure she gets the best blend of rows and blocks within vineyards. This time-consuming method is working because Patricia Green is producing some of the best wine in Oregon! She has earned a loyal following among wine enthusiasts, and is consistently celebrated by the press. These are silky, lush wines that baste the palate with pure Oregon fruit, show excellent tannic structure, and long fruit-filled finishes.

“These wines are accessible from the moment the cork pops, and age well in the cellar. Great fruit extraction and wonderful aromatics.”
