A JOSEPH J.D. FRANZIA FAMILY-OWNED PORTFOLIO BRAND | NAPA, CA. | A FAMILY TRADITION SINCE 1893
The Story · The Place · The Wine
A family-owned New Zealand wine carrying the legacy of the hei matau — the traditional Māori fish-hook form associated with strength, prosperity and safe passage over water.
At the northeastern tip of New Zealand’s South Island, Marlborough is shaped by abundant sunshine, cool nights and maritime breezes. Fertile alluvial loams and gravelly subsoils provide excellent drainage, while the long growing season develops vivid fruit and naturally refreshing acidity.
Hooks Bāy Sauvignon Blanc is bright and inviting, offering tropical fruit, crisp citrus and lively freshness. Stainless-steel vinification preserves purity and aromatic expression, leading to a zesty, balanced palate and a clean, lingering finish.
Serve chilled with oysters and shellfish, grilled white fish over an open beach fire, crab or lobster, roast chicken, fresh salads, goat cheese, and herb-driven or tomato-based pasta. Its vibrant acidity and refreshing finish also make it an effortless aperitif for long evenings by the sea.
Gather
From open-fire grilled fish on the sand to long tables under a Marlborough sky, Hooks Bāy is made for coastal evenings — food, laughter, and a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc.
Order Hooks Bāy Sauvignon Blanc from our online store — chilled, poured, and paired with something fresh from the sea.
