Drop of the Day – Award-winning 2024 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, Wairau River Estate Sauvignon Blanc
Family-owned, sustainably grown and perfect for summer, Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc is available from Woolworths, Pak ’n’ Save and New World stores across New Zealand.
About Wairau River
Wairau River is the flagship wine of Rose Family Estate. Founders Phil & Chris Rose were pioneers in the Marlborough wine industry, planting their first vines along the stony banks of the Wairau River in 1978. Twelve years later they made the bold, brave decision to produce their own wine and the award-winning Wairau River wine was born.
Today Wairau River is one of New Zealand’s most highly regarded wine producers, carefully crafting wines from family-owned vineyards and exported all around the world. Whilst inter-generational involvement in the wine industry is not unusual, it’s notable that all five of Chris & Phil’s children (and some of their partners) are actively involved in shaping the future of Wairau River.
Dish Recipe Pairings
Wairau River Estate Sauvignon Blanc is gorgeous when paired with seafood dishes (especially mussels), like our Fish and Vegetable Chowder. It also pairs well dishes that have a Thai flavour profile like our Thai Fish and Prawn Laska or our Root Vegetables and Thai Yellow Curry Soup.
You can be confident that choosing Wairau River is always a good decision.
