"It is delightfully aromatic and inviting on the nose showing feijoa, kiwifruit, apple and lime zest characters. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent fruit power and punchy fruit flavours, leading to a lingering juicy finish" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Intense tropical and citrus aromatics and bright vibrant acidity. Striking notes of nettles, pink grapefruit 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. A fine settled growing season produced wonderfully concentrated and expressive fruit. The near perfect weather conditions ensured harvest began in the last week of March and was completed by mid April.

‘Sunshine Bay’ is the habitual holiday home for the Rose family. On a secluded shoreline in the renowned Marlborough Sounds it has been their retreat for over 50 years. A place to unwind, relax and to enjoy all of New Zealand’s special qualities.
