Manu Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2023
This New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant, intensely aromatic, and crisp white wine. It offers a powerful and definitive expression of the Marlborough style.
Nose: The aromas are explosive and instantly recognizable. Prominent notes of passionfruit, gooseberry, and grapefruit zest. These fruit notes are underscored by classic Marlborough characters of freshly cut grass, bell pepper, and subtle mineral wet stone. The aromatics are concentrated and leap from the glass.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is light-bodied and remarkably zesty. The flavors of tangy citrus, passionfruit, and green apple are pure and invigorating. A dry wine that carries a high, piercing acidity, which provides incredible freshness and a mouth-watering sensation. The texture is clean and focused, demonstrating great purity.
Finish: The finish is long, dry, and intensely refreshing, with the tropical fruit and zesty notes lingering beautifully.
Pairing
Fresh Oysters: The wine's crispness and minerality cut through the brininess perfectly.
Grilled Prawns or Ceviche: The citrus notes align with the preparation.
White Fish: Lightly grilled or baked, especially with a lemon-herb sauce.
Goat Cheese: The classic, undisputed best pairing. The wine's acidity complements the cheese's tanginess.
Sushi: The clean profile is excellent with raw fish.
Winemaker
My journey in winemaking started in 1978, with an after school job at the sole local winery which quickly paved my passion and career in winemaking. After studying in Australia and completing an internationally recognised degree in wine science, I returned to my homeland where I joined New Zealand's burgeoning wine industry.
It was in 2005 that dreams came true for my wife Caroline and I and Steve Bird Wines was born. We have since celebrated many proud achievements, winning numerous gold awards both locally and abroad for our signature blends that capture the exceptional qualities of the land that has stood before us.
“Family is at the heart of the wine-growing tradition and so it is at Steve Bird Wines. My name is on every bottle and our family is dedicated to growing the best grapes our pristine New Zealand environment can provide. My determination is to craft wines that capture place and time and let nature be the hero.”
