THE BETTER HALF JUST GOT BETTER

The Better Half got a makeover and we’re excited to show you. The new-look packaging reflects the two loves in George’s life: Jules and vintage aircraft, although Jules isn’t sure which comes first!

The Better Half Bottles

We’ve drawn inspiration from the airline industry to include stylised bird emblems and ‘rivet’ details like those used in aircraft construction. They’re what George spends plenty of time looking at as he works to restore a vintage Fairchild airplane.

Two birds on the label represent George and Jules. The strong eagle is George: a daring risk-taker who is always looking to the future. The gentle dove is Jules: the loving peacemaker of the family who is admired for her careful, meticulous approach.

Together, they make an unflappable, formidable team who complement each other perfectly. George and Jules have dared to dream big and now fly high with a successful stable of world-class wines tucked under their wings.

We hope you love the new design as much as we do! Like George, though, The Better Half isn’t just a pretty face. There’s a whole lot of Marlborough magic inside ready for you to enjoy.

The 2026 Better Half Sauvignon Blanc Is Here

A slow finish to the 2026 harvest made for one of our most flavor-packed vintages yet.

Back in May we told you about the 2026 Marlborough harvest — a warm spring that got the season off to a great start, followed by a cooler, slower finish that had us out in the vineyards taking our time with the picking.

That season is now expressing itself in the bottle. The 2026 Better Half Sauvignon Blanc is already out and landing on shelves right now.

So, what’s actually in the glass?

This is a big, intense mouthful of Sauvignon Blanc. Ripe, concentrated, and honestly one of the most flavor-packed vintages we’ve poured in a while — you can taste that slow, steady finish to the season in every sip.

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is famous for hitting a lot of notes at once: Fresh herbs and cut grass up front, a wave of citrus, then stone fruit and passionfruit rolling through the middle, finishing with a tropical richness and a slightly wild edge that Marlborough Sauvignon fans know well (winemakers call it “sweaty” — we promise that’s a compliment).

It’s vibrant. It’s intense. It doesn’t hold back. If you love Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc for being loud and a little bit wild, this is the vintage you’ve been waiting for.

Available now

The 2026 Better Half Sauvignon Blanc is in stores and online right now. Find it near you] and grab yourself a bottle for your next adventure.

How to drink it

No rules here. Get it cold, pour generously, and let it do the work. It’s an easy match for anything off the grill, a bowl of something spicy, or just a Tuesday that needs a lift. However you drink it, drink it your way.
