Description
"Beautifully fruited and immediately appealing, the bouquet shows green rockmelon, nectarine, basil and lemon zest characters. The palate is succulent and vibrant, and delivers pristine fruit flavours and fine texture, superbly balanced by refreshing acidity. Excellent value and great drinking. At its best: now to 2019." Sam Kim. Sept 2017.
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.
The fruit for this Whalebone Bay Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from carefully selected vineyard sites within Marlborough. It’s a lively, fresh wine with a lifted nose of blackcurrant budpassionfruit and citrus blossom. The palate displays flavours of freshly cut capsicum, passionfruit and fresh stonefruit. Subtle herbaceous notes add complexity and the finish is clean and crisp. Recommended for drinking now or over the next 1-2 years.
Food Pairing: A delightful wine with fresh greenlipped mussels or caesar salad.
