Description
"A magnificently expressed sauvignon; the fabulously fragrant bouquet shows passionfruit, kiwifruit, green rockmelon and lime peel characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate that is pristine and vibrant. The wine offers terrific fruit intensity backed by refreshing acidity, finishing superbly long and delicious. At its best: now to 2021" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2018
Striking notes of nettles, pink grape-fruit and fresh currants leap from the glass! The crisply defined palate is underlined with minerality, lingering with guava and ripe pear.
Marlborough is renowned for its high sunshine hours and cool night time temperatures that help lock in the zesty flavours, giving crisp and fruity structure to the wines. The 2018 vintage reflects this perfectly.
The alluvial, gravelly vineyard soils of the Wairau Valley are free draining with low fertility, resulting in extremely low yields that guarantee concentrated flavours and accelerate the ripening cycle. Marlborough produces a unique style of wine and the Sunshine Bay wines are no exception.
Food Pairing: This wine is especially perfectly matched with freshly shucked oysters, lightly pan-fried fish, a green leaf goats cheese salad or simply enjoy as an aperitif.
