Swiftsure Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Swiftsure originated from a reverence for New Zealand’s awe-inspiring yet unforgiving Southern landscapes and the world-class wines they produce.
Located in Marlborough & Central Otago, our vineyards are situated at two extremes of the Southern Alps. This majestic mountain range extends 500km from the Northeast to the Southwest along the South Island’s Alpine Fault.
The distinct Southern landscapes we see today are the result of faulting, uplift, erosion, and glaciation over time – forming rugged terrain layered with jagged greywacke rock and ancient schist. Some of the most exceptional wines are crafted from these challenging environments.
At Swiftsure's foundation are carefully selected parcels of these dramatic sub-alpine hillsides and terraces, weathered and chiseled away over the generations.
Like the sure-footed souls that traverse the backbone and swift-flowing rivers of this ruggedly beautiful high country, our adventurous vintners thrive on extremes, producing the purest expression of soil and spirit.
Winemaker
No stranger to challenging conditions, winemaker Duncan McTavish has spent over a decade at the helm of Man O’ War Vineyards - making iconic wines on Waiheke Island, one of NZ’s most unique environments.
As part of a small and passionate team bringing Swiftsure to life, he has relished the opportunity to return to the South where he learned his craft, navigating the contrasting conditions to produce world-class Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Bannockburn Pinot Noir.
Duncan graduated from Canterbury’s Lincoln University in 1999 before completing vintages in France, Germany, Australia and the United States, before finally settling at Man O’ War in 2008.
Acclaimed for his innovative and adventurous winemaking style, Duncan’s thumbprint ensures Swiftsure is a true expression of both soil and spirit, a blend of unconventional thinking and the rugged sub-alpine landscapes where our vineyards lie
