Tasting Notes
An intensely aromatic nose – this is a delicious confluence of ripe citrus, tropical fruit and a hint of something savory. The fruit spectrum is complex and while overwhelmingly "Sauvignon Blanc", the addition of delicate oak adds another dimension. The striking palate immediately fills the mouth and finds a crisp finish to a long and balanced interplay of fruit and acidity. Delicate white wine tannins provide the framework and, combined with an approachable acidity, focuses the palate toward a long and elegant finish.
Winemaking
A portion of this blend was held on its skins for up to 8 hours to extract some of the ripe phenolics and therefore develop structure and power. The wines were fermented in stainless steel with a variety of yeasts, temperature and nutrition regimes. Varying rates of untoasted “blonde” oak was introduced to some of the parcels to complement the naturally rounder wines and promote palate weight and breadth but not have and overt oak influence. All parcels have been stirred on gross lees (“battonage”) for 80-90 days.
Terroir & Vintage Notes
The Invivo X, SJP Sauvignon Blanc is a blend of five estates in Marlborough, spanning both the Wairau and Awatere Valleys with vines ageing from three to 11 years. Sarah Jessica loved the intensity of style from the Waihopai Valley and has blended that with pure fruit aromatics from the Western Wairau and the power and purity found in the Westhaven Vineyard in the Dashwood. The Westhaven vineyard is one of the last blocks of Sauvignon Blanc in Marlborough to be harvested and so has an extremely long season to develop flavor and power. The 2019 vintage presented us with an ideal growing season, allowing ripening to accumulate gradually, so harvest was timed to harness the maximum warmth and sunshine of summer.
Wine Information
Invivo X, by Sarah Jessica Parker is created with New Zealand-based Invivo Wines, in what Parker describes as a very collaborative process. The collaboration covers every aspect of the new wine, from naming and label design to the winemaking itself. Invivo winemaker Rob Cameron explains: “This wine is 100% Sarah Jessica Parker. So other than selecting the base wine from New Zealand (Sauvignon Blanc) I’ll be taking a back seat and letting her create the blends.” Sarah Jessica Parker’s first ever wine was perfected in May 2019 when Invivo founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron travelled to New York City to create her new Sauvignon Blanc. They brought samples of the 2019 vintage, harvested in April. Over a three hour session, SJP and the Invivo team finalized the proportions from each vineyard to create the exact blending recipe used in the wine.

Invivo & Co
Invivo & Co’s story began when the two of us – Rob and Tim – got together in a bar in London to talk wine. How to make it better. How to cut through the fluff that the traditional wine companies seem to love so much. We always believed in the power of a strong brand, so we decided then and there to build a business that let us create one and have fun along the way. And you know what? It worked.
Invivo & Co is one of New Zealand’s leading producers – we have won over 200 medals and many trophies since we launched in 2008. We produce wine and have operations in New Zealand, Australia, Italy, France and produce gin in Ireland with our local West Cork partners!
By focusing on our customers’ needs and on innovation, we have managed to grow our business rapidly. In 2015 we were New Zealand’s first equity crowd funded wine company. After our second successful equity crowd funding campaign in 2018, we are now one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest crowd funded companies. We are based in one of New Zealand’s oldest wineries, where we continue to turn some of the world’s best grapes into wine that’s picking up fans from Cork to New York.
Traditional winemaking is all about the way things have always been done, cobweb-filled cellars and old guys talking about complex oak noses. We’re not about that. From the way we’ve funded our company to the way we tell our story to the world and the way we source our wine, Invivo is not your great-uncle’s winery. (Unless your great-uncle is one of our 600+ investors, in which case, Cheers. Unc!)
In 2014 we launched a Sauvignon Blanc with legendary TV megastar Graham Norton after we learned he was a fan of Sauvignon Blanc and our wine. This quickly expanded into a multiple-award winning range, which includes Rose, Prosecco, Shiraz, and Gin.
In 2019 were launched a wine collaboration with New York icon Sarah Jessica Parker! Following months of discussions, time in New York and a wine tasting with Sarah Jessica, we launched the Invivo X, Sarah Jessica Parker Sauvignon Blanc 2019 from Marlborough. The wine has won a slew of awards and accolades – visit SJPxInvivo for more details – and stay tuned for the release of our Invivo X, SJP Rosé.
It’s all part of our vision: We bring people together so great things can happen
