Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2021

James Suckling 90
“Fragrant nose of passion fruit, guava, lime curd and star fruit. Medium-bodied with tangy acidity and a crisp, fruity palate.”-JS

“The first Oyster Bay. Which happened to win the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world. Its brilliant clarity, extraordinary aromatic flavors and refreshing zest are both thrilling and enthralling. It all starts in Oyster Bay’s Marlborough vineyards, in the region famous for introducing elegant, cool climate New Zealand wines to the world. Marlborough’s warm days and cool nights create an extended growing season allowing the grapes to develop strong, intense varietal characteristics while maintaining a balanced, crisp natural acidity. The result is a distinct wine that is always crisp, elegant, and refreshing.
Stunningly aromatic tropical fruits and bright citrus notes, with a refreshingly zesty finish. Pairs perfectly with lighter meals, a variety of fresh Asian flavors, and seafood. Made to be enjoyed within a year or two of the vintage.”-Winemaker Notes

“Blessed with the natural advantages of New Zealand’s maritime cool climate and ancient alluvial soils, Oyster Bay continues to capture the essence of New Zealand’s cool climate viticulture with our world-class range of elegant and assertive wines with glorious fruit flavors. Oyster Bay vines flourish in Marlborough, one of New Zealand’s most renowned wine regions. Oyster Bay’s state-of-the-art, winemaking facilities, have been carefully designed to preserve the intense varietal flavors which come from these unique sites.
Oyster Bay is a passion. It’s a vision. And ultimately, it’s a promise- to bring the very best of New Zealand wine to the world.”-Winery Notes

Oyster Bay is a special place. Here in the South Pacific Ocean, on the tip of the Marlborough Sounds, it's a world away. For many wine lovers around the world it's a special wine too. From New York to Sydney to London and beyond, we are enormously proud Oyster Bay is one of the most sought after Super Premium wines internationally.
From the moment we released our first vintage, we knew. Not only did we win 'best in world' for our Sauvignon Blanc in 1991, we thrilled palates with New Zealand's unique cool climate flavour intensity.
Oyster Bay is a passion. It's a vision. It's a single minded promise to bring the best of New Zealand wine to the world. We don't make reserves, anything more or less. We don't reserve anything. We are the same family that's been here from the very beginning, only grown a little, and learnt a lot. Oyster Bay has many stories. We can't wait to hear yours.
Enjoy.
