Winery's Review: Sourced from the South Island of New Zealand, this Sauvignon Blanc exhibits complexity and a vibrant zing. Flavors of Meyer lemons and Key limes integrate with hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating in a long, creamy finish. Long, cool seasons in New Zealand’s Marlborough region allow our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. The grapes are harvested at night and gently crushed before undergoing cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. An extended fermentation sur lie adds richness and softness, complementing the fruit’s natural zest and acidity.
My Review: Nose: Very Tart with hints of green apple. Taste: Semi-dry, crisp and acidic. Primarily tastes of apple with some hints of grass and earth. Has a sweet/sour finish which I enjoyed.
I give this wine a 3.5/5
