Introducing Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc comes from the vineyards of Marlborough, New Zealand, surrounded by jagged mountain peaks, a maze of crystal clear inlets, and covered overhead by bright blue skies. Located on New Zealand’s South Island, the grapes that make up this excellent white wine are hand-picked from vineyards that are kissed by the sea breeze during a cool growing season. This allows for the fruit to develop its complex flavor and exceptional acidity.
An Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc stands out because of its fermentation process—cold-fermented in stainless steel. The bottles are secured with a convenient screw-cap top to ensure each glass is as pure and as fresh as the first.
The grapes for Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc are sourced from Railyard Vineyard in Rapaura, a sustainably farmed site, and were first planted more than 15 years ago. The fruit is picked at its peak freshness, giving this wine a beautiful light straw color with a tinge of green.
Winemaker Nick Goldschmidt is known for his unparalleled experience in winemaking, and Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc is proud to be certified by Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand for employing environmentally responsible and economically viable processes in its vineyards.
How Does Echo Bay Sauvignon Blanc Vary from Other White Wines?
Are you a fan of white wines but looking to branch out? There are three popular white wine choices, and each stands out for its reasons. These wines include:
Sauvignon Blanc
A Sauvignon Blanc is known for its bright acidity and vibrant flavors. The aromas range from tropical fruits, like passion fruit and pineapple, to citrus notes, like lemon and grapefruit. Regions known for this white wine are New Zealand, California, and the Loire Valley of France.
Pinot Grigio
Hailing from regions like Italy, Oregon, and Alsace, a Pinot Grigio, also known as a Pinot Gris, is full of sweeter notes, like green apple, pear, and honeysuckle, and rounded out with a hint of minerality. Pinot Grigio is a popular white wine choice. It pairs well with almost anything because it isn’t overpowering.
Chardonnay
A Chardonnay is a versatile white wine that offers a richer and fuller-bodied profile that distinguishes it from the other two popular white wines. Full of notes as diverse as citrus, tropical fruits, and oak, Chardonnay hails from places like California, Burgundy, and Australia. The complex wine can even have notes of vanilla and butterscotch, thanks to its oak aging process.
All three of these white wines are known for their intricate subtleties. Finding the perfect glass can be an exciting journey for both the experienced and novice vino connoisseur.
