Description
"It is fabulously lifted on the nose showing classic sauvignon aromas of passionfruit, feijoa, currant and lemon zest, which lead to a mouth-watering palate that is fresh and juicy. It is intensely expressed and immediately appealing, and offers excellent value. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2018
The fruit for this Whalebone Bay Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites within Marlborough. It’s a lively, fresh medium bodied wine with a lifted nose of blackcurrant bud and zesty citrus notes. The palate displays flavours of passionfruit and fresh stonefruit with a hint of salt. Subtle herbaceous notes add complexity and the finish is clean and crisp. A delightful wine with grilled snapper and caesar salad.
Recommended for drinking now or over the next 1-2 years.
Whalebone Bay is a colloquial term given to the shores of Port Underwood in Marlborough, that are littered with old whalebone remnants. It was here in the mid -1800s that whaling was in full swing. The pioneering spirit and uncompromising attitude of these people is reflected today by the dedication of Marlborough grape growers to producing top quality fruit.
