Do you make a Marlborough Sav? Last chance to participate in the book ‘Celebrating Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc’

New Zealand’s most famous grape variety and the foods to match

By Belinda Jackson and Jan Bilton

Here’s an opportunity to immortalise your Sauvignon Blanc in a book aimed at wine lovers the world over, dedicated to our most illustrious grape and the enigmatic wines it makes.

We want to include every Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc possible so we can ensure the book is a thoroughly comprehensive guide. Cost to participate (and therefore allow us to produce the book) has been kept to minimum to encourage this. This initiative could be one of the best marketing investments you’ll ever make!

Overview
Marlborough has taken the world by storm with its unique style of Sauvignon Blanc. Nurtured and polished over the last twenty years, this grape variety continues to excite the palates of consumers the world over. Here is a book that celebrates this great wine, giving details and tasting notes of hundreds of Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs while celebrating the diversity of styles and offering mouth-watering recipes to match.

Belinda and Jan have already worked together, writing and publishing the very successful ‘Marlborough on the Menu’. About to undergo its third reprint, the book was awarded a Golden Ladle as Best Food and Wine Guide at the 2010 Le Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards.

Objective
To promote Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, imparting educational yet enjoyable information to those who love this captivating grape. The book will celebrate the diversity of styles, the different sub-regions of Marlborough and provide do-able and relevant recipes, thereby offering inspiration and knowledge to locals and visitors as well as wine lovers and distributors in the overseas markets for New Zealand wine.

This is a guide as opposed to a ‘coffee table’ book, designed to be referred to on a regular basis.
