Since the start of grape growing in Marlborough, the little South Island New Zealand province has been constantly outstanding in its field.
It was in 1986 that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ‘leapt’ on to centre stage capturing international interest and becoming the focus for wine connoisseurs and consumer alike.
The news was all over the world and people started to notice this New World wine region and began to inquire as to what it was producing and why it was so good.
The Marlborough Sun range reflects this ‘news’ aspect of Marlborough grape growing and the creation of a new story with every wine is part of the way to share the news.
The fruit for this wine comes from some of the best spots in Marlborough, including the famous Wairau Valley.
During the growing season, the winemakers wonder the vineyards, taste testing parcels to ensure the fruit is picked at its absolute peak.
Once the grapes arrive at the winery (in record time, of course), they’re lightly pressed off skins and fermented in cool stainless steel tanks to lock in all that fresh, vibrant, zesty goodness.
The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc was blended, bottled, and ready to be consumed.
So grab a glass, kick back, and soak up the flavor – it’s all about living a little in the Marlborough Sun!
The Marlborough Sun Sauvignon Blanc 2022 has won numerous awards including
Gold Medal, Concours Mondial du Sauvignon, 2023
Gold Medal, Sam Kim: Wine Orbit, 2023
