Matua Marl Sauvignon Blanc 2018 (6 x750mL) Marlborough, NZ

Description:

This is the wine our viticulture and winemaking teams get really excited about –it showcases what the vintage has been like for Marlborough’s most famous varietal! We pick our Sauvignon Blanc grapes from over 60 vineyards across Marlborough, encompassing the Wairau and Awatere Valley sub-regions. So, the wine is always a complete expression of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc! We processed the Sauvignon Blanc parcels at the winery in batches before cool fermentation in stainless steel with our ‘house style’ yeasts. Then the wine was left to sit on light lees to build texture and a luscious mouth feel before final blending and finding its wat into the bottle for you to enjoy!

Winery Tasting Notes

This classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is deliciously pure, bursting with ripe lemon citrus notes and a hint of vibrant passionfruit & basil. The palate is fresh and vibrant with concentrated blackcurrant leaf and a hint of classic cut-grass and green melon. So refreshing, you’ll be left wanting more.

Enjoy on a warm day with good company and great food – we’re thinking fresh fish or a cheese platter! Cellar at fridge temperature, for about 45 minutes.

Winery Profile

The Founders

As a small, family-run winery in West Auckland, Matua Vally quickly gained a reputation for innovation, award-winning New Zealand wines.

In 1974, two brothers, Bill and Ross Spence, began their dream of making wine finer than any of their contemporaries could imagine. While they were the sons of a winemaking father, theirs was a winemaking tradition in the old style, one that neither was inclined to follow. They wanted to make wine in New Zealand that was as good as any in the world.

The Name

The name Matua (mah-too-ah) in Maori means "main stem", "foremost" or "head of the family". A very appropriate title, as this is the winery credited with producing New Zealand's first Sauvignon Blanc.

A less publicised triumph was the impression the Sauvignon Blanc had made amongst the other winemakers, leading to the decision to include large quantities of this variety in the first vineyards to be planted in the now famous Marlborough region.
