✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the sun-drenched valleys of Marlborough, Southbank Estate Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant testament to New Zealand's most famous wine revolution. In the late 20th century, Marlborough transformed from a quiet farming valley into a global viticultural powerhouse, largely due to the magical synergy between the Sauvignon Blanc grape and the region's unique terroir. Sourced from the stony, free-draining alluvial soils of the Wairau and Awatere Valleys, this wine benefits from a dramatic diurnal temperature swing with hot, sunny days followed by cool, crisp nights. This climate slows ripening, allowing the grapes to develop intense aromatic compounds while retaining a brilliant, mouth-watering acidity. Crafted primarily in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve its pristine fruit character, the wine offers an expressive bouquet of passionfruit, gooseberry, and fresh-cut herbs, embodying the classic, energetic style that put New Zealand on the world wine map.
