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 Riesling grapes were machine harvested from vineyards across central Marlborough, where the cool climate does all the heavy lifting.
The winemakers spent the growing season monitoring fruit like it was their jobs (because it was), waiting until grapes were at optimal flavour.
After being transported to the winery, the fruit gets gently pressed, then cool fermented in stainless steel to preserve the zesty citrus and crisp green apple flavours.
The result ?
A Riesling that’s fresh, vibrant, and ready to help you kick back and live a little in the Marlborough Sun.
