Whalebone Bay Sauvignon Rose Dry Wine 2023 is a fresh, fruit-led rosé wine from Marlborough, New Zealand, made from the 2023 harvest and bottled at 12.5% ABV in a 750 ml format. 🇳🇿 Sauvignon Blanc is the named grape behind its identity. The wine brings red-berry flavours and a touch of spice to the table, making it an appealing choice when you want an aromatic rosé to accompany a meal. It is vegan friendly and carries the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand mark.
🍓 Whalebone Bay Sauvignon Rose Dry Wine 2023 offers a fresh red-fruit character with a gentle spicy accent. Rather than choosing it solely for its colour, think about the flavours and the dishes you plan to serve. Its Sauvignon identity gives you a useful starting point if you already enjoy that grape and want to explore it in a different style. The bottle has a practical screw cap, convenient for opening at home or taking to a shared dinner.
🍽️ Fresh seafood and chicken dishes are the suggested pairings. Try it beside a simply prepared fish dish or a poultry main course, allowing the food and wine to complement one another. We recommend serving it chilled at 8–10°C. Pour a small glass first, then let the wine warm slightly if you prefer to explore more of its aromas. Store the bottle away from direct sunlight and heat.
✨ Whalebone Bay Sauvignon Rosé suits relaxed lunches, dinners with friends or a gift for a rosé enthusiast. Its name recalls Port Underwood’s historic shores in Marlborough, while the fruit comes from selected parcels in the region. Winemaker Megan Simmonds is associated with the brand. Contains sulphites; vegan friendly does not mean sulphite free.
