Aroha Bay takes its name from a spectacular part of New Zealand known as the Marlborough Sounds. This pristine native forest area boasts towering 800-year-old rimu trees, lush punga tree ferns, and beautiful native orchids, all leading down to picturesque shorelines. Isolated, tranquil, and surrounded by birdsong, it's easy to see the allure of the majestic Marlborough Sounds.

The 2023 harvest was a season characterized by collectiveness, collaboration, tranquility, and winemaking finesse. It began strongly with excellent flowering, hinting at the potential for an abundant crop. The classic Marlborough summer brought consistent days without excessive heat and slightly lower than average sunshine. Light yet persistent rain events during berry maturation demanded focused vineyard management to preserve healthy fruit. This challenge was skillfully met across the vineyards, yielding beautifully clean fruit ready for a promising harvest.

In the winery, a highly skilled and multinational team produced another fantastic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes were machine-harvested and immediately pressed in the cool of the night. The juice was maintained at cool temperatures to preserve the delicate aromatics. Cleared juice was then fermented to dryness at cool temperatures with specifically selected yeasts. The finest tanks were chosen for blending, creating a wonderful fresh expression for bottling.

The Aroha Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2023 is an intensely crisp and refreshing wine, with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits. On the palate, flavors of grapefruit and lime are prominent, accompanied by a subtle minerality and a bright acidity that provides a clean finish. Well-balanced and easy to drink, this wine is a perfect choice for summer sipping.
