KFS New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough) 18L

 New Zealand, Marlborough, Sauvignon Blanc

Appellation: Marlborough, New Zealand

The Region:New Zealand’s premier wine region, Marlborough, is located on the north-east corner of the country’s South Island. The region has become famous internationally for its distinctive, herbaceous Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough is also known for its beautiful sounds – sunken valleys which create a network of tranquil waterways amidst the vineyards and native forests. The vineyards that produced this Sauvignon Blanc are located in the Wairau Valley. This area boasts New Zealand’s sunniest and driest climate with summer and autumn consisting of warm days and cool, clear nights. This helps to retain the naturally high levels of acidity found in the Sauvignon Blanc grape and develops the classic New Zealand style.

The Wine: Sauvignon Blanc is a very popular varietal today and NewZealand produces intense, racy, flavourful wines from this grape. Our KenRidge™ Founder’s Series Sauvignon Blanc is straw-coloured with fresh, appealing aromas of cut grass, gooseberry, passion fruit, melon, citrus and green pepper. These aromas carry over to create clean, ripe, juicy, tart flavours on the palate with a gracefully long lemon lime finish. To appreciate this Sauvignon Blanc’s crisp acidity and refreshing style, please enjoy young.

The Food: A fabulous wine to serve with goat cheese; asparagus; summer salads; cream based pastas with green vegetables; fi sh and chicken with fresh herbs and lemon.

Bottle Aging: It is recommended that you cellar your KenRidge™ Founder’s Series New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc a minimum of 1 month before enjoying.
