Sex & The City star Sarah Jessica Parker and Invivo Co-founders Tim Lightbourne and Rob Cameron are toasting to five years of their wine brand ‘Invivo X, SJP’.
Invivo X, SJP was founded in 2019 by SJP and New-Zealand winery Invivo.
With 10.5 million glasses of Invivo X, SJP wine enjoyed worldwide, the partners-in-wine came together recently at the iconic Loews Regency New York Hotel on Park Avenue during a two-hour tasting and blending process to create their new, fifth, vintage of Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand.
“We were really excited about our 2023 Invivo X, SJP blending session, being our fifth vintage. The 2023 vintage was of such fantastic quality and this, coupled with Sarah Jessica’s palate, passion and experience at the blending table, means this year’s wine is definitely one of our best yet,” commented Cameron, SJP co-founder and winemaker, Invivo X.
“Each year we aim to hold onto the essence of our style – smile-inducing tropical fruit, full-bodied texture and a long finish, but also pushing the boundaries each year. Sarah Jessica has grown massively in her skills and experience at the blending table and her reflection of previous vintages is invaluable. Our amazing collaboration with Sarah Jessica keeps on getting more fun each year.”
Flavour Profile
Parker – who will be headlining and speaking at Wine Spectator’s New York Wine Experience this October – is 'hands on and instrumental in creating the flavour profile of the award.'
Parker, co-founder of Invivo X, SJP, said, “It was a joy to blend the fifth vintage of our much-loved Sauvignon Blanc with my Invivo X, SJP partners Tim and Rob. It’s important to us that we continue to uphold the high level of quality that our customers have come to expect from us, but with experience also comes the ability to reflect on previous years and challenge ourselves to build on the structure, complexity and sophistication of our signature style.
"Our final 2023 Sauvignon Blanc blend has an incredible fragrance with perfectly balanced flavours of guava and citrus rind that are mouth-watering. We are excited for our customers around the world to try it, and we care deeply about their loyalty to this wine.”
Invivo X, SJP is distributed by Barry & Fitzwilliam. The wine is available in SuperValu stores, and online from WinesOfTheWorld.ie.
