With hot days and cool nights, the ripening period is much longer than in other parts of the world. The terroir here is excellent, producing wines that balance intensity and purity, with flavours that have strong fruit notes and heady aromas with plenty of acidity and crisp freshness. Wine lovers from around the world pay top money for the quality Sauvignon Blanc wines produced in this region.

Marlborough also produces some great Pinot Noir and other varieties, but check out the Walnut Block and Collectables Sauvignon Blancs to see what they do best. If you want organic Marlborough wine, or high quality biodynamic wine from the Nelson region there are plenty of excellent vintages to choose from!
