Juggernaut Wines, from the Bogle Family Wine Collection, has introduced its Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.
The inaugural 2023 vintage of the Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is available now on Juggernaut’s website and at retail stores nationwide with a suggested retail price of $16 per 750-ml. bottle.
This release marks Juggernaut’s first internationally grown and imported wine and the second white wine in the portfolio. It’s cultivated across the Marlborough region of New Zealand. Juggernaut partnered with the MacDonald family, a family with Maori ancestry, and vineyard ownership within Marlborough located in the Lower Wairau Valley and the Awatere. The Juggernaut Sauvignon Blanc is a blend from both sites.
“It has been exciting to expand our portfolio for Juggernaut beyond California, and tap into the world-renowned Marlborough region,” says winemaker Eric Aafedt. “Following the success of our Chardonnay last year, the introduction of Sauvignon Blanc to the Juggernaut portfolio felt like a natural next step for the brand. Expanding our horizons to New Zealand was a welcomed challenge that goes perfectly with the Juggernaut ethos that overcoming challenges builds character.”
The new Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc label depicts a killer whale, which is known to roam the waters around New Zealand.
Juggernaut has also established a new partnership with the global clean up organization 4ocean, which is focused on removing millions of pounds of plastic and trash from oceans, rivers and coastlines. As part of the collaboration, Juggernaut is dedicated to removing 10,000 pounds of trash from the ocean in 2024, the company says.
