Marlborough

**Marlborough** — New Zealand's largest and most famous wine region, at the sunny northeastern tip of the South Island. It is the area that made New Zealand a global name in wine. **Wines & grapes** — Sauvignon Blanc is the overwhelming signature, defining a whole international style; the region also makes excellent Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, aromatic Riesling and Pinot Gris, plus traditional-method sparkling wine. **Character** — A cool, sunny climate with a big day-to-night temperature swing gives wines of intense aroma and zingy acidity. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is instantly recognisable — pungent and vivid, with passion fruit, gooseberry, fresh-cut grass and citrus. **Good to know** — Its rise from almost nothing in the 1970s to worldwide fame is one of the great modern wine success stories, and Sauvignon Blanc remains its calling card.
