Soleil et Sol operates in Marlborough, the South Island region that has become synonymous with vibrant Sauvignon Blanc. The winery's Sauvignon Blanc captures the essence of this cool-climate terroir: the variety's characteristic aromatics and bracing acidity find expression in a wine that Wine Enthusiast has rated at 85.2. Marlborough's long growing season and maritime influences create conditions where Sauvignon Blanc achieves both ripeness and tension, a balance that defines the region's most compelling expressions. The winery's focus on this varietal reflects both the region's strengths and the grape's ability to articulate the specific character of New Zealand's southernmost wine country.
