Theres a kiwi fruit and a kiwi bird, and now a Kiwi wine worth writing about the 2009 New Harbor Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has an enticing bouquet of citrus, passionfruit, and guava. Its crisp finish is characteristic of Marlborough NZ premier wine growing region and makes this wine a perfect pairing for summer salads, roasted chicken, pan-fried prawns and seafood dishes. From the Marlborough region on the South Island of New Zealand, this wine is a special part of the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc phenomenon which constitutes one of the most dramatic changes ever seen in the wine world. Marlborough is one of New Zealands sunniest, driest areas. Plenty of sunshine with cool nights and a long growing season helps to promote the vibrant fruit flavors for which this region is renowned. Sauvignon Blanc has become New Zealands most important grape, producing feisty, pungent, dry white wines of consistent quality that are routinely exported.
