Pale yellow color. Recognizable aroma of passion fruit, green herbs, and pink grapefruit. On the palate, delightfully pure, fris and mineral, almost taut with certainly enough body and a certain elegance.
Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand
Type - Wine Light white wine
Grape variety/varieties - sauvignon blanc
Country - New Zealand
Wine region - Marlborough
Wine production
These grapes from 6 vineyards mostly come from vines over 30 years old. The juice is fermented at low temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged on the lees for a while and vinified dry, with only 2 grams of residual sugar remaining. The yield is extremely low, only 25 hl/ha.
Region
Marlborough is located at the far north of New Zealand's South Island and is also the largest wine region (over 25,000 ha) in the country. The first vineyards were planted here in 1973. As early as the 1980s, it became clear that very remarkable wines could be produced here, mainly from the sauvignon grape. The ideal conditions for viticulture in Marlborough are a combination of sufficient sunshine hours, the stony, poor soil, plenty of sun, and the cooling sea breeze, which ensures even ripening of the grapes, thereby guaranteeing the preservation of fruit and acidity. The sea is only 10 kilometers away. The vast majority of grapes are harvested here mechanically. 75% of the planted grapes are sauvignon blanc. Other varieties have also been introduced, especially riesling, pinot gris, and pinot noir, with experimentation on albariño and grüner veltliner. Subzones are Wairau Valley, Southern Valleys (south of Wairau, more suitable for pinot noir), and to the south the Awatere Valley. Since 2018, Marlborough has had its own appellation with Appellation Marlborough Wine. The area is dominated by a number of very large producers and by many small wineries and grape growers.
Producer information
Wairau River Wines was founded in 1978 by Phil and Chris Rose. They were the first to plant vineyards on the northern side of the Wairau River. Until 1991, they only grew grapes and sold them to, among others, Cloudy Bay. Then the couple, together with their five children, decided to start producing wines themselves. The entire family is active in the company; from chef in their restaurant to assistant winemaker. Sam Rose is responsible for making the wines and works closely with his good friend and talented winemaker Nick Entwistle. Wairau River is one of the largest independent family businesses in Marlborough. At present, the family owns 210 hectares divided over 10 vineyards, all located on old riverbeds, which consist of large to medium-sized round stones. 80% is planted with sauvignon blanc, 10% pinot noir and some syrah, as well as riesling, gewürztraminer, pinot gris, chardonnay, grüner veltliner, albariño and viognier. Wairau means 'many waters' in the language of the original inhabitants, the Maori. They only make wine from their own vineyards, some of which are certified organic.
Serve with

Serving temperature

Had great experience with the sousbox. Especially recommended for a romantic successful home evening with the two of you. Candles on, music in the background and in turn, or cozy together, making the dishes and eating. Nice wine. Delicious no hurry, and top quality eat. What else do you want? What weakened love blooms again. An absolute must!
Sous is actually a culinary experience at home! Whether you want to dine extensively (while the children are in bed and you don't have to arrange a babysitter) or if you want to put a whole table full of tasty snacks in no time, because with Sous everyone can do it! It starts with the good service at the door, to the handwritten card that you receive during the holidays. And don't forget the tasty food of course;) This means that we have been a customer of Sous for years and we hope to be able to enjoy this for a long time.
Ordered a box for the second time and enjoyed it again! The delivery is super, very well packaged and what delicious dishes! It is already a party to draw up the signs according to the supplied guidelines. And then to have a star meal in your own house. We will do this much more often, a big 10!
So easy. Delicious food without worries. With Christmas, no shopping lists, not in line in the stores, no stress in the kitchen. Pure luxury. If you are (already a bit older) opposite to invite people, just order a delicious meal at Sous, then you can also enjoy the food and the fun. Several times, ordered different meals and every time it was perfect!
We had much to celebrate with our family. Above all, life; After a nasty disease that has left my body. And the happiness of a brand new bridal couple whose wedding we had missed because I am not allowed to fly after an operation. The World of Streetfood combines perfectly with the vegetarian variant. We sat at the table with each other a wonderful afternoon. The dishes were put together by changing chefs. It was a relaxed and delicious experience.

“A delightful experience, enjoyed an exquisite meal. Neatly packaged, clearly described what you need to do to REALLY enjoy it. What a wonderful formula!”
“We ordered sous for our anniversary dinner. Since we have two children under three, it is not always possible to arrange a good night out. This way we could enjoy fine cuisine at home while the two little troublemakers slept peacefully. Delivery was smooth, preparation was easy, and tasting was ecstatic!”
“Perfect, every box is unique. We ordered for the first time during the pandemic and many times since then. Also, quite a few times as a gift for my friends—a perfect surprise on their doorstep! The refrigerated delivery service is the best! Would recommend 100%”
“Besides the great concept, diverse choice, and outstanding performance, communicating with sous was next level. Customer experience first. Very, very happy, and before I forget, the food is delicious!”
“Both boxes (Ron's Rames and Thai Boat) complemented each other perfectly in terms of flavors and presentation! We'll definitely be doing this again!”
“Delicious menu! Tasty and easy to prepare. You have to provide a nice ambiance yourself (nice plates, candles, music). If you create this romantic setting it will be a true 'night out'. Of course you have to go into the kitchen yourself to do the minimum of preparation, but it is also nice that you can make these beautiful creations on the plate yourself. Recommended!”
“The menu selection and delivery went very smoothly! A great way to have a lovely dinner at home with your guests, without being in the kitchen all the time. So all the time for catching up and enjoying great amazing food. Definitely something to do more often and try out the various restaurants.”
“I received this Surprise Restaurant Dinner meal prepared by Ron, the day before my birthday, from my sister-in-law who lives in Spain. I say Surprise Restaurant Dinner, because that's the ultimate experience I got after I unpacked the box, heated it according to the simple instructions and then enjoyed it with my husband of 48 years. The guy who had delivered it had given me a warm smile and said: enjoy it. ”
“We are huge fans of sous; as date nights out of the house with a baby aren't always that easy, we often have date nights at home with a sous box. This last time we had the Dijk 9 Autumn Menu, and of all the sous boxes we've ordered over the past few years, this was absolutely the best!”
“The information on the site matches reality. Ordering is simple. Delivery is easy to track online and always on time. And the quality of the food is always a reason to be happy. For us, there's no need to get in the car and drive to a restaurant anymore. And nobody has to be the designated driver anymore.”
“It was delicious. Both the Indonesian rice table and the Chinese shared dining meat dishes were tasty. In December, we're going for the Dick Middelweerd menu. I think this is a great formula. I'm going to use it more often.”
