How To Chill
New Zealand winery Matua is releasing the 2016 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and Rosé with thermographic label technology. The Chill Check labels activate as a bottle is cooled to optimal drinking temperature, with the label’s features changing color.
One of Treasury Wine Estates‘ brands, Matua’s label features a snowflake symbol that appears when the bottle is optimally chilled, along with a color-changing Ta Moko symbol, which darkens when the wine reaches its ideal temperature. In the Maori culture of New Zealand, the Ta Moko is a traditional tattoo of the face or body, sacred to the wearer, TWE said in a press release. The SRP for both wines is $11.99.
