Fire up the barbie and throw on some fresh prawns

This exclusive private label comes from a highly respected family owned winery in New Zealand’s Marlborough region. The secret's getting out as this is becoming one of our best sellers. 

Marlborough has gained world recognition for its Sauvignon Blanc grown on alluvial soils. Extensive sunshine hours (over 2,500 hours per annum) and cool nights are the perfect background for this crisp, clean wine with ripe tropical overtones, so duly representative of the Marlborough region. This "mystery" wine is made from grapes grown at two family owned vineyards in the Wairau and Waihopai Valleys of Marlborough. The cooler Waihopai Valley site produces grapes with dominant flavours and acid content. While the warmer Wairau Valley vineyard produces full bodied wines with good alcohol and ripening potential. After fermentation, the wines are blended to create this classic and consistent Sauvignon Blanc.

Quality is the absolute focus of this family owned operation and it starts in the vineyard where no corners are cut, and continues in the winery where ‘handcrafting’ is the applied standard. Being a family-run business, control over quality is truly ‘hands on’. The family’s philosophy is ’the best fertiliser is the foot of the farmer’. Through every day personal involvement, a focus on quality, and a commitment to reasonable pricing, the result is simple…value for money for the customer.

This "mystery" wine has a pale straw green colour. The nose shows classic lifted cool climate Sauvignon characters of gooseberry, passionfruit and lychee. The palate is similarly bright with tropical and citrus notes mingling with some intense peppery minerality underpinned with fresh mouthwatering acidity.

Made in a dry style it has delicious drinkability now but has sufficient flavour concentration to last 2-3 years.

So fire up the barbie and throw on some fresh prawns, char-grill some squid, serve with lemon and rocket and wash down with this irresistible lip-smacking Sauvignon Blanc . Just brilliant!

Enjoy and Be Surprised :)
