✨ Technical Specifications
Southbank Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc captures the classic cool-climate expression of New Zealand's hallmark grape. Sourced primarily from the alluvial gravel plains of the Wairau Valley and the cooler clay-rich sub-regions of Marlborough, the wine is harvested in cool conditions and fermented strictly in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This crisp, protective winemaking approach prevents oxidation and preserves the vibrant thiols and pyrazines responsible for its quintessential aromas of passion fruit, gooseberry, and fresh cut grass.
