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.
Rock Lobster: as long as anyone in the area can remember, these brightly colored crustaceans have made the Marlborough coastline home. The team at Lobster Reef thought their quirky nature perfectly reflected what Lobster Reef wines are all about. The Lobster Reef winemaking team works closely with some of Marlborough’s finest growers to ensure that only the very best fruit is selected for their wines. They pick their fruit at optimum ripeness, which is why their Sauvignon Blanc possesses a smoother, gentler, rounder character. This wine reflects the premium regional style that has made Marlborough world famous.
