Whalebone Bay is a colloquial term given to the shores of Port Underwood in Marlborough New Zealand that are littered with old whale bone 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 wine is selected from special parcels of fruit from Marlborough vineyards at the top of the South Island of New Zealand.
The grapes for this vivacious wine were transported quickly to the winery after harvest and pressed off their skins immediately to minimise skin contact.
The juice was then cool fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and enhance varietal character.
The finished wine was carbonated to enliven the flavours and add an attractive sparkle.
