Marlborough Sauvignon blanc Wines

Buy Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc Online

Just Wines carries a genuinely deep range of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, spanning well-known names through to organic bottlings and single-vineyard releases. Whether you're after an easy, everyday bottle or something more considered, both ends of that spectrum are here. If you'd rather try a spread of styles at once, a mixed wine case is a good way to do that without committing to a full case of one wine.

What Makes Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc Different?

Marlborough's combination of intense sunshine and cool nights is what gives its Sauvignon Blanc such a distinctive character. Expect bright passionfruit, gooseberry and citrus fruit alongside a herbaceous, sometimes grassy edge, a combination that's fairly unique to the region. It's a different style entirely to the more restrained, mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc of France's Loire Valley, or the softer, less overtly aromatic versions often made in parts of Australia. If you're new to New Zealand wine generally, this is one of the easiest and most rewarding styles to start with.

Food Pairing and Serving

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc's bright acidity and herbaceous character make it a natural match for fresh oysters and other light seafood, where its zesty edge cuts cleanly through the dish. It also pairs well with Thai and other Asian food, where its fruit character can stand up to chilli and aromatics without being overwhelmed, and it works nicely with goat's cheese, echoing the wine's own tangy character.

Serve it well chilled, around 7 to 10°C, in a standard white wine glass. There's no need to decant it, and it's best enjoyed soon after opening while its aromatics are still lively.
