About the winery · Oyster Bay ›
Oyster Bay is a New Zealand wine brand focused on cool-climate wines from Marlborough and Hawke's Bay. The Sauvignon Blanc was the first Oyster Bay wine and remains centered on Marlborough's aromatic, high-acid style. The producer describes its approach as capturing regional character through careful vineyard-block handling, gentle pressing, cool fermentation and early bottling for freshness.
