Unter den Weinen aus Übersee ist Sauvignon Blanc aus Neuseeland sicherlich einer der am wenigsten umstrittenen. Trifft man bei vielen anderen Herkünften und Rebsorten all zu oft auf lahme und austauschbare Industrieweine, so sind im Gegensatz dazu viele der Sauvignons aus Neuseeland unverwechselbare, charaktervolle und einzigartige Gewächse. Von den neuseeländischen Weinen konnte sich insbesondere der Sauvignon Blanc aus Marlborough einen hervorragenden Ruf verschaffen. Die Qualität und die außergewöhnliche Aromatik der Weine sind auf das kühle Klima der Gegend zurück zu führen. Vor allem in den Nächten gelangen große Mengen kalte Luft von Pazifischen Ozean über die Cloudy Bay in die Täler des Anbaugebiets. Diese kühlt die Trauben und sorgt somit für die typische knackige Frische und trotzdem intensive Aromen. Sehen Sie selbst welche Weine die Erwartungen erfüllen, und welche weniger. Robert Naser probiert und bewertet drei bekannte Sauvignon Blanc aus Marlborough.
