North Lake Wines offers Fernleaf Sauvignon Blanc
A wine full of the pure, refreshing flavor that has made New Zealand a favorite of super-premium wine consumers.
26/05/05 New Zealand is a land of captivating beauty, graced in its verdant rainforests by 190 varieties of fern leaf, the national emblem of New Zealand's sporting teams. Now, courtesy of North Lake Wines, a Constellation Wines U.S. company, the fern leaf proudly graces another winning New Zealand export: Fernleaf Sauvignon Blanc, a wine full of the pure, refreshing flavor that has made New Zealand a favorite of super-premium wine consumers.
Over the past five years, exports of New Zealand wines to the U.S. have increased five-fold to over 800,000 cases and sales of its leading wine, Sauvignon Blanc, have soared 119.6% in the past year. New Zealand's cool, sunny, maritime climate is ideal for producing the crisp, zesty style of Sauvignon Blanc that fans of the grape increasingly favor.
Fernleaf Sauvignon Blanc is produced from grapes grown in three of New Zealand's key wine growing regions: Marlborough, on the east coast of the country's South Island, and Hawke's Bay and Gisborne on the east coast of the North Island. The proximity of these regions to the Pacific Ocean ensures that their grapes ripen slowly and evenly, developing the fresh fruit flavors, zesty herbaceous tones, and mouthwatering acidity that New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc lovers treasure.
Fernleaf Sauvignon Blanc delivers another hallmark of New Zealand winemaking: outstanding value. With a suggested retail price of $9.99 for a 750 ml bottle, it's a wonderful introduction to New Zealand for wine lovers yet to experience the country's vinous charms, as well as an affordable, everyday alternative for confirmed New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc aficionados.
Fernleaf is imported by North Lake Wines, the classic wine producer of Constellation Wines U.S., which is part of Constellation Wines, the world's largest wine business, an operating division of Constellation Brands, Inc.. Constellation Wines U.S. encompasses three of CBI's U.S. wine businesses: Canandaigua Wine Company, Pacific Wine Partners, and North Lake Wines. Leading brands for North Lake Wines include Dunnewood, Farallon, Marcus James, Paul Masson table wines, Taylor California Cellars, and Vina Santa Carolina.
