Winemaker Notes

Aromatic and generous on the palate, the wine offers big tropical flavors, with hints of peach and apricot on the nose with underlying notes of citrus and herbs. This varietal pours a rich golden color and delivers refreshing and immediate drinking pleasure on any occasion.

Winery Notes

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.
