A modern and playful twist on Marlborough's signature style, the Southbank Estate Sauvignon Blanc Ros e marries the vibrant, tropical energy of classic Sauvignon Blanc with a delicate blush of red fruit character. Sourced from the sun-drenched, stony soils of Marlborough's Wairau and Awatere Valleys, this style is typically crafted by blending a dominant portion of crisp Sauvignon Blanc with a small splash of Pinot Noir. This technique imparts a beautiful pale pink hue and introduces subtle notes of wild strawberry and raspberry to the wine's classic passionfruit and fresh herb profile. It represents the innovative spirit of New Zealand winemakers, who constantly push boundaries to create refreshing, terroir-driven expressions that capture the cool maritime climate of the South Island.
