Chasing Venus
Chasing Venus operates in Marlborough, New Zealand's South Island, where cool-climate conditions shape crisp, mineral-driven whites. The winery focuses on Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris—varieties that thrive in the region's long growing season and diurnal temperature swings. The Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough expresses the region's signature herbaceous intensity and citrus precision, while the Pinot Gris demonstrates the versatility of the variety in this terroir, balancing weight with acidity. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. Marlborough's reputation for Sauvignon Blanc rests on its distinctive aromatic profile and structural clarity—qualities evident in Chasing Venus's approach to the varietal.
