Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc

This is an older review that I never published at the time. I don’t have a photo, but I think there’s still enough information to be useful.

Maggie and I are currently enjoying a bottle of Monkey Bay Sauvignon Blanc. This is produced in the Marlborough region of New Zealand., an area that is known for Sauvignon Blanc.

This wine is quite typical of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, with gooseberry, grapefruit, and some tropical fruit. It’s a very crisp, refreshing wine. We’re enjoying it by itself, but it has enough acidity and flavor to hold up well to food, too.

This producer, Monkey Bay, apparently only makes Sauvignon Blanc, or at least under this label. They are are part of Constellation Brands, which includes a wide variety of familiar brands, including other Marlborough producers.

We bought this wine on sale for $9.34. The regular price at the store was $10.99. Even at the regular price, I think this is an excellent value!
