The Redcliffe success story begins in 2004 with the critically acclaimed U.S. release of the debut 2004 vintage of Redcliffe Sauvignon Blanc. U.S. wine writers and leading wine magazines were quick to recognize this deftly crafted wine, responding with high ratings and glowing reviews. A combination of ripe pear and zesty citrus fruit flavors wedded to the alluring tropical fruit notes for which New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs are renowned, met with widespread praise, as did the thoughtful innovation of presenting the wine in both 750ml and 1.5 liter bottlings – a first for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc – and at a price that placed the new wine firmly within reach of a larger category of consumers than most other leading New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.
Redcliffe’s winning concept is now being extended to include two new varietals, Riesling and Pinot Noir, both of which have enjoyed a steep rise in popularity in the U.S. in recent years. With the introduction of these two new varietals from Redcliffe, U.S. wine lovers can look forward to enjoying to the same combination of superbly crafted wine made available at a competitive price and in a helpful array of bottle sizes.
Redcliffe is the only brand of premium imported Sauvignon Blanc available in 750ml and 1.5L formats.
