Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc v French Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough is world-famous for it's Sauvignon Blanc, but ever wondered how it stacks up against French wines? In this video by Julien Miquel, he explores how the two regions compare on their Sauvingnon Blanc. It's fierce competition, but without spoiling it, I think you know who comes out on top!
Pinot Noir from the Marlborough wine region
Often overshadowed by the immensity of the Sauvignon Blanc, the Pinot Noir is the underdog of Marlborough Wines. Not nearly as well known, but it's our hidden gem. This video by Weekly Tasting explores different Pinot Noirs from around the world. Of course the Marlborough Pinot Noir was a stand out experience
Therefore, join us for a fun filled (and slightly boozy!) day on our Marlborough Wine Tour.
(pssst...don't forget to ask about our most popular tour! - the Cloudy Bay Wine Tour, right in the heart of the Wairau Valley)
We handle pick-up and drop-off for you from Blenheim, Renwick or Picton, so you don't need to worry about driving!
A Bit About The Marlborough Wine Region:
Located in the north east of the South Island of New Zealand, Marlborough is by far the largest wine region in New Zealand producing just under 80% of New Zealand Wine.
Vines were first planted in Marlborough in 1973, therefore the region is young and still expanding.
By 2018 there are over 30,000 hectares or 75,000 acres of producing vines in Marlborough and the region is currently still planting more!
Marlborough New Zealand is known for producing a fresh, fruity and vibrant Sauvignon Blanc, accounting for over 85% of the wine production in the region.
Guests on our Marlborough wine tour are surprised other grape varieties even grow in the region, therefore join us to try other varieties.
These include Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Riesling. The region produces small quantities of other varieties for example; Gewürztraminer, Albarino, Gruner Veltliner, and Syrah to name a few.
The best part? You can enjoy all of these one of our wine tours, therefore what are you waiting for, book today!
In conclusion visit Wine Marlborough to find out more about the New Zealand's largest wine region.
