    Sunshine Bay Sauvignon Blanc - Classic

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: July 5, 2021 Last Updated: January 25, 2023

    If you like that truly distinctive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc taste profile, you'll love the Sunshine Bay Sauvignon Blanc from Aldi.

    Sunshine Bay Sauvignon Blanc - Classic

    Sauvignon Blanc from the Wairau Valley, Marlborough, New Zealand.

    The Sunshine Bay Sauvignon Blanc is available exclusively at Aldi and sells for just $7.95. It is imported by G.K. Skaggs, Inc.

    From the bottle:

    Blended from select estate vineyards in the Wairau Valley of New Zealand's world famous Marlborough wine region, the tropical guava and passion fruit flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc are balanced perfectly with crisp acidity, stony minerality and citrus notes. This lively, fresh and dry wine is aged in 100% stainless steel tanks and is best enjoyed chilled. Light in body this style of wine is excellent with fresh seafood, poultry, light cheeses or simply on its own.

    Bottled by Sunshine Bay Wines
    12.5% Alcohol

    The 2020 Sunshine Bay Sauvignon Blanc is loaded with grassy, herbaceous, gooseberry notes. This is a 100% New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc aroma.

    The wine tastes similar to the nose but the grassy, herbaceousness is dialed back a bit in the mouth. You'll also find some rich peach and tropical fruit flavors as well.

    It ends dry and long with a touch of sweetness left lingering on the lips. If you like that truly distinctive New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc taste profile, you'll love this wine.
