Fresh and fruity with zippy lime and passionfruit aromas, this is an easy-going, balanced summer sipper with crisp, crunchy acidity and a blackcurrant leaf finish. — Christina Pickard

Winemaker Notes

Vineyard - Lobster Reef's 200 acre vineyard is located in the Blind River Valley of Marlborough, NZ. Situated along the rocky coastline, the Sauvignon Blanc grapes are harvested in a dry environment with modest rainfall and in a tight soil structure, resulting in balanced, low vine vigor.

Vinification - Fermented in 100% stainless steel

About the Winery

Lobster Reef was started by the Brown family – the people behind Cape Campbell Wines. The Brown family joined the Marlborough wine industry in 1980. Initially they grew grapes for other companies, but in 1992 they started their own company.

In 2002 they bought a block of land in the Blind River sub-region of Marlborough, and Cape Campbell was born.
The Lobster Reef label celebrates the unique, rugged coast which is just s stone's throw from the vineyard.
The home vineyard consists of 200 acres of established wines (planted in 2002). Other loyal contract growers provide consistently high-quality fruit so you're guaranteed a great glass of wine.
