WINE DESCRIPTION
Spy Valley Satellite Sauvignon Blanc is a premium wine produced by Spy Valley Wines, a renowned winery located in the Marlborough region of New Zealand. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Satellite Vineyard, which is situated on the southern side of the Wairau Valley. The vineyard features stony soils and a cool climate, which allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing and cool fermentation to preserve the wine's vibrant fruit flavors and aromas. The resulting wine is a classic Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with intense aromas of passionfruit, citrus, and fresh herbs, and a crisp, refreshing palate. It is a perfect wine to enjoy on its own or paired with seafood, salads, or light dishes.
