Since the start of grape growing in Marlborough, the little South Island New Zealand province has been constantly outstanding in its field.
It was in 1986 that Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ‘leapt’ on to centre stage capturing international interest and becoming the focus for wine connoisseurs and consumer alike.
The news was all over the world and people started to notice this New World wine region and began to inquire as to what it was producing and why it was so good.
The Marlborough Sun range reflects this ‘news’ aspect of Marlborough grape growing and the creation of a new story with every wine is part of the way to share the news.
The fruit was harvested at optimum ripeness from a selection of vineyards in the Marlborough region.
After pressing and cold-settling the juice was fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to amplify the fruit intensity and freshness.
Texture was enhanced by regular lees stirring post fermentation.
The individual batches were selected on quality then blended together before balancing and stabilising ready for bottling.
