Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough New Zealand 2020
A zest for the extraordinary.
Stunningly aromatic tropical fruits and bright citrus notes, with a refreshingly zesty finish.
Recently awarded 4 out of 4 Stars by Michael Cooper.
The wine that started it all. The first Oyster Bay. Which happened to win the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Its brilliant clarity, extraordinary aromatic flavours and refreshing zest are both thrilling and enthralling.
It all starts in our Marlborough vineyards, in the region famous for introducing elegant, cool climate New Zealand wines to the world. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop strong, intense varietal characteristics whilst maintaining a balanced, crisp natural acidity. The result is a distinct wine that is always crisp, elegant, and refreshing. Uniquely Marlborough and undeniably Oyster Bay.
Winemaking Philosophy
Our winemaking philosophy is to capture the special character of New Zealand’s cool climate viticulture – to consistently produce distinctly regional wines that are elegant and assertive with glorious fruit flavours.
The flavours we love so much are there from the moment we pick the grapes. They come from the unique cool climate and ancient soils where our vines grow and we work hard, using a science and a love of the land to create remarkable flavours in every bunch.
The flavours take a whole season to create but can disappear in a moment. Our winemaker’s role is to capture this flavour in every glass. What sounds a little aggressive and simple, is in reality, gentle and complex. Each vineyard parcel, as we call them, are made individually to capture their own character. Our winemakers skillfully blend these to make a wine with complexity and of course, real personality. Our uncompromising attention to detail captures and retains fresh, incisive, cool climate fruit flavours and enables us to express the individual character and complexity of each region in our wine.
We call these elegant and assertive wines with glorious fruit flavours.
Uniquely New Zealand, undeniably Oyster Bay.
Marlborough, New Zealand
From the ends of the earth, a taste of heaven.
Nestled at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, Marlborough is one of the world’s most distinctive and exciting wine regions, its exquisite Sauvignon Blanc launching the country onto the international wine stage in the 1980s and now home to some of the world’s most remarkable cool climate wines.
While we may believe our alluvial soils to be ancient, in the scheme of ancient wine regions, we are considered to be quite young with soils laid down only within the last 14,000 years. Once a towering glacier, the plains of Marlborough’s valleys are the trail of its slow retreat as masses of rock debris were carried down to the coast by melt-water rivers. As these stones bask in plentiful sunshine, vine roots edge beneath to find nutrients. When the air cools at night, the stones share with the vines the warmth they have collected over the day, to help create the immaculate flavors synonymous with this special place.
