Additional Information

This is a wine that you simply can’t pass up! Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is a hot category but the country is so tiny that the law of supply and demand has driven prices through the roof!

Surprisingly, Sauvignon Blanc has only been made in New Zealand since the 80’s! They really got it right. The synergy between the cool climate, the unique geological properties of the soil and the right grape variety results in wines that are simply unique and delicious! The world quickly caught on and the wines are hugely popular. They are great food wines and good to drink on their own.

Redcliffe is produced by DeRedcliffe Estates. Their vineyards are located in the Wairau Valley, part of the Marlborough region in the northeast corner of New Zealand’s southeast island.

American publishing entrepreneur Ed Aster and his family fell in love with the natural beauty of New Zealand and they moved there from Oregon in the 90’s. He is the man behind DeRedcliffe Estates and for any of you who want the whole luxurious wine experience, the estate also boasts a five-star resort and spa focused on wine, health and pampering!

Most of us will just have to settle for the vicarious enjoyment of New Zealand wine country by indulging ourselves in a glass of vivacious Sauvignon Blanc.

Not a bad compromise by any stretch of the imagination! Especially this lively wine. Why not have an in-house spa party with some friends and some Redcliffe Sauvignon Blanc?

If a spa party isn’t your thing, open up an ice-cold bottle of Redcliffe to serve with a nice dinner of grilled salmon or fresh tagliatelle with a light lemon and spinach cream sauce.
