"Bright and fresh, it’s fabulously aromatic on the nose showing green rockmelon, kiwifruit, apple and lemon zest aromas, leading to a succulent palate that's punchy and flavoursome. Delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2024" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Jul 2022

Unmistakably Marlborough, our 2022 Sauvignon Blanc is bursting with ripe tropical flavours and hints of citrus on the nose. Juicy acidity on the palate with tropical fruit flavours carrying through with a hint of fresh salinity. This wine extends to a long concentrated finish.

Our Sauvignon Blanc is crafted from premium fruit grown in the Awatere and Wairau Valleys of Marlborough, New Zealand. Combining fruit from each of these regions adds an extra dimension to the wine; the Wairau Valley fruit lifting the aromatics, whilst the Awatere component adds an attractive mineral note.

The Marlborough growing region is New Zealand’s premier wine producing area. It is known for its diverse terrain of rugged mountain ranges and vast stretches of flat valleys outlined by jagged hills. The area is marked by plentiful bodies of water from streams and rivers to the famed Marlborough Sounds and captivating views of the South Pacific Ocean. One of New Zealand’s sunniest and driest regions, Marlborough enjoys about 2,400 annual sunshine hours. With an average daytime temperature of 18°C and cool nights brought on by coastal winds, it offers idyllic conditions for growing world-class Sauvignon Blanc.

We believe in letting the quality of our fruit show through in the wine. Our Sauvignon Blanc is picked at the peak of the season and gently pressed before being fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks. The result is a wine that is the purest expression of our Marlborough terroir.

Boatshed Bay embodies the life and colour of the Marlborough Sounds on the South Island of New Zealand. For many years we have proudly crafted wines from our picturesque vineyards of this region.
