Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron, the Kiwi Cofounders of Invivo wine, have again partnered with superstar Sarah Jessica Parker to create the latest Invivo X SJP wine. This will be the fourth vintage of their award-winning New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
“I feel fortunate that I was able to meet my Invivo X, SJP partners Tim and Rob in person after two years apart and together blend our fourth vintage of Sauvignon Blanc. “We were looking to build on the quality of our previous vintages and are thrilled with the result. Each of the base wines had great personalities so combining them to create something special took some work at the blending table. Our final 2022 Sauvignon Blanc blend is tropical and has wonderful fresh citrus aromatics with a full and round mouthfeel and long finish. We are eager for our customers around the world to try it,” said Sarah Jessica Parker, Cofounder of Invivo X SJP.
Rob Cameron selected ten different samples of Sauvignon Blanc from a recent harvest in Marlborough to take with him to New York for the in-person tasting.
"It’s so important that Sarah Jessica is involved in blending of the new vintage of Invivo X, SJP each year as she represents the tastes of our customers and what they are looking for in their glass. Sarah Jessica has developed a beautiful style of Sauvignon Blanc that is soft with a subtle oak influence with flavours of ripe citrus, tropical fruits and just a hint of something savoury. It’s been a joy to see Sarah Jessica’s confidence at the blending table grow over the past four years, and we’re really proud of the quality of the wine we’re producing together,” said Rob Cameron, Invivo Cofounder and Winemaker.
The first collaboration was launched in 2019, with the highly acclaimed Sauvignon Blanc being named among the world's Top 100 wines in its first vintage. The collection has since earned over 50 accolades.
"It was fantastic to capture the Invivo gents with Sarah Jessica creating their latest wine, I loved the authenticity of their partnership, the laughs and challenges they had while tasting and then finally getting to their signed off wine! I was lucky enough to have a sneak taste of the final blend and it’s delicious - I really enjoyed capturing the moment for the team - cheers!” Said Nigel Barker, famed fashion photographer and longtime friend of Invivo Nigel Barker.
