Introducing a new brand greenlip is named for the native and iconic New Zealand Green Lip mussel. The clear waters of the Cook Strait which border Marlborough are a natural home for these beautiful bivalves This is where the South Pacific and the Tasman Sea meet to create the Maritime climate which imparts the unique character in our Sauvignon Blanc. You will find a bright passionfruit and grapefruit character and a hint of lime peel in this delicious wine. Pretty imagery
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is famed for its strongly aromatic green bell pepper, gooseberry & lush passion fruit characters. Styles vary from this traditional style to those showing fresh-cut grass, melons & lime. The Marlborough region represents 80% of all plantings New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is predominantly cold-fermented in stainless steel to retain its famed “zing”, though more examples are being produced using oak, wild yeasts & lees stirring to add complexity Pretty imagery New Zealand SB Facts
