About wine:
Bright Light low-calorie wine delivers the best of the taste and aroma of a typical New Zealand Sauvignon in a lighter style, with lower alcohol and sugar content.
-
Harvest and ageing:
Most of the grapes come from vineyards in the Awatere Valley in the Marlborough region, where they can develop full flavour before sugar levels become too high. This produces a wine with a lower alcohol content but intense flavour. The grapes are picked during the cool hours, and the skins are removed immediately after pressing. The juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at low temperatures. Fermentation is stopped before the sugar level exceeds the desired amount.

Suitable for food pairing
Off-dry Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand, pairs wonderfully with seafood such as prawns, oysters, or grilled salmon, thanks to its fresh acidity and delicate fruity notes. It also complements light salads with goat’s cheese, asparagus, or roasted vegetables beautifully. Its low-calorie profile makes it ideal with Asian cuisine too, such as sushi or Vietnamese spring rolls.
