Description
Yealands makes wines in Marlborough on the northeast side of the South Island. The vineyard for Southbank is located far inland where the Waihopai River meets the Wairau River. The South Bank Sauvignon Blanc is a soft, aromatic variant of the well-known Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. De Soutbank uses state-of-the-art wine vinification. The grapes are picked when optimally ripe and the skins are soaked for at least 12 hours. Vinification and maturation then take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel cuvees. In the glass, the Southbank Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is pale yellow with a green tinge. Expressive on the nose with gooseberries, boxwood and mown grass. On the palate, this crisp, dusty Sauvignon Blanc has a soft attack, juicy with sufficient freshness and a good aftertaste.

Wijnhuis
Southbank Estate wines are part of a large producer of New Zealand wines called Yealands. They produce wines in Marlborough to be precise. The wines for the Southbank range come from vineyards near the Waihopai River and the Wairau River. Here it is dry and cool and different temperatures between day and night quite a bit. This results in fresh wines with a special character. Southbank's wines are all made with premium grapes. It's all about quality, which means that we harvest selectively. They are going to work sustainably, so you will regularly see sheep grazing between the vineyards. As a result, less mowing is required and the soil gets new nutrition.
