Sugar Reef 2014 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough New Zealand

Description

Since the first vineyards began popping up in the 1970s, the Marlborough region of New Zealand’s South Island has become renowned as a premier source of Sauvignon Blanc. The climate combines hot and sunny days with cool nights, helping to extend the ripening period and produce wines with a distinct and crisp flavor. The region’s reputation has grown to such an extent that some critics now call it the best source of Sauvignon Blanc in the world.

Drawn from vineyards near the Cloudy Bay, the Sugar Reef Sauvignon Blanc draws its unique flavors and aroma from the stony flats of the Wairau river. The wine’s character bears out its wild origin, with aromas of wild nettles and citrus that are carried through in the flavor. A beautifully balanced wine, the fresh citrus flavors are accompanied by hints of dried herbs and passion fruit.
