The background that matters
Invivo was founded in 2008 by Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron. On this site, both wines are listed with the same producer, region (Marlborough) and grape (Sauvignon Blanc); the vintage is what differs.
Read it alongside this wine
Both published profiles record a dry wine with high acidity, medium alcohol and body, and a medium(+) finish. The 2025 is recorded as youthful, with pronounced intensity on the nose and palate and only primary aroma groups: citrus, green fruit, tropical fruit and herbaceous. The 2018 is recorded as developing, with medium(+) intensity; its aroma groups are citrus, tropical fruit, herbaceous and bottle age, with no green fruit listed.
Try it with the review
Compare the two published profiles side by side and note what stays the same and what changes. Can time in bottle alone explain the differences, or could they also reflect two different vintages?
