Quartz Bay 2020 Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough, New Zealand

2020 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

Quartz Bay's 2020 Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand is a delightfully crisp and vibrant white wine. The refreshing acidity of this Sauvignon Blanc is akin to a burst of sunshine, perfectly balanced with a prominent fruit intensity that offers a medley of tropical and citrus notes. The wine's medium body provides a smooth and elegant texture that enhances its fruit-forward profile. With a dry finish that leaves the palate longing for another sip, this Sauvignon Blanc embodies the essence of Marlborough's acclaimed winemaking prowess.

Tasting notes:

On the nose, earthy and herbaceous aromas of wet straw and freshly cut grass jump out of the glass. Tropical flavors of guava and mango are complemented by citrusy notes of fresh-squeezed lime. A slight minerality grips the palate as bright and bold acidity zings the taste buds.

Region:

Marlborough

New Zealand's Marlborough region is arguably its most important, a name synonymous with the country's distinctive world-class Sauvignon Blancs. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc—with its tropical fruit, gooseberry and herbaceous notes—is one of a kind. And it is all thanks to Marlborough's terroir: a large, gravelly river valley inland of Cloudy Bay at the northeast tip of the South Island, it enjoys long, warm, maritime-influenced summers. But Marlborough isn't only about Sauvignon Blanc. The region also produces exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, sparkling wine and both dry and sweet Riesling.
