Frost Pocket Sauvignon Blanc is a crisp and refreshing wine that embodies the essence of New Zealand's Marlborough region. This wine is a perfect example of the region's signature style, with its bright and zesty notes of citrus and tropical fruits. The grapes are grown in a unique terroir, known as the "frost pocket," where chilly temperatures and dense fog provide ideal growing conditions for the Sauvignon Blanc varietal. With a pale golden color and a medium-bodied texture, this wine is perfect for pairing with seafood, salads, and light dishes. Its balanced acidity and smooth, clean finish make it an ideal choice for any occasion.

About the Winery

Frost pocket is one of the best wines from New Zealand. The winemaker is Marlborough wine growers. One of the most outstanding things about Malborough wine rowers is that the harvest is done very carefully, and in the end, there are 7 to 10 picks. This is usually done to achieve a blend of flavours. Harvesting is usually conducted at night when it is cool. The fruits are machine harvested before being taken to the winery in 90 minutes. The harvester is the latest and has selective process technology. Because of this, the fruits with full content get to the press. Malborough wine growers use a gentle press to reduce any phenolic pick within the pressed juice.
