TASTED: 10 Jun 2011 |
An excellent Sauvignon Blanc that shows strong varietal character, being slightly drier than most other Marlborough Sauvignon Blancs and devoid of the sweet passionfruit characters that are so prevalent in many examples at this price point. Brilliant, water like colour with some greenish, pale straw around the edges and watery hue. The nose displays herbaceous, gooseberry top notes followed by some tropical fruits, citrus and spice. The palate delivers plenty of Marlborough’s trademark flavours – ripe and unripe gooseberry, citrus and tropical fruits, with some herbaceous overtones. Clean, crisp acid finish. Long aftertaste of tropical fruits, gooseberry and citrus.
