What a top-quality wine from New Zealand! This Southbank Estate Sauvignon Blanc comes from Marlborough, the absolute top region for this white grape variety. The wine is highly aromatic, with a beautiful balance of fresh citrus aromas with sweeter tropical notes and a light mineral touch. On the palate, it's crisp, lively, and juicy citrus. Exactly what we expect from Sauvignon Blanc!

Characterful wines from Southbank Estate

Southbank Estate wines are part of a major New Zealand wine producer called Yealands. They produce wines in Marlborough, to be precise. The wines for the Southbank range come from vineyards near the Waihopai and Wairau Rivers. The climate here is dry and cool, with considerable temperature fluctuations between day and night. This results in fresh wines with a unique character. Southbank wines are all made with premium grapes. Quality is paramount, and this also means selective harvesting. They operate sustainably, and you'll regularly see sheep grazing among the vineyards. This reduces the need for mowing and nourishes the soil. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. They are then taken almost immediately to the winery where maceration takes place for 12 hours, during which the grapes and skins are steeped. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the wine is aged for several more months in the same stainless steel tanks.

A refreshing Sauvignon Blanc from Southbank Estate

Thanks to New Zealand's excellent climate, the grapes have been able to develop wonderful aromas. Upon pouring, we can immediately enjoy the scent of boxwood, gooseberry, and white flowers. The taste is equally delicious and especially refreshing with a smooth character. The acidity remains somewhat in the background and the finish is pleasantly long. Delicious with fried fish, barbecue dishes, or a fruit salad.
