The Wine
Crafted from ‘free run’ (rather than pressed) juice, Brightwater Sauvignon is especially elegant and vibrant. It’s from Gary and Valley Neale and their boutique winery in ultra sunny Nelson, just along the coast from Marlborough. They started out in 1992, growing grapes for other wineries, producing their first wine in 1999. Their success has been phenomenal. In 2012 at New Zealand’s Royal Easter Show they were awarded Champion Wine of the Show for their top Chardonnay and their winemaker, Tony Southgate, was named Winemaker of the Year. Headed by the Neales, this small, close knit team produces first class wines. Output is tiny, too, with flavour particularly intense thanks to hours of sunshine. Delightful on its own; ideal with seafood.
