Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand – Marlborough  16/20
Very pale-straw colour with pale green hues, this has a soft and fresh nose, quite delicate and near ethereal with gentle passionfruit, capsicum and lime aromas lifted with fermentation esters, Dry to taste, this is light-bodied, quite elegant in proportion. Lifted, fresh, red capsicum and currant flavours intermingle with bubble-gum like esters. The palate is crisp, and dry with soft textures and balanced acidity, which lead to a good, up-front, fruity finish of passionfruit and blackcurrants. This is a light, balanced, youthfully fresh Sauvignon Blanc to serve as an aperitif and with antipasto over the next 2 years. Marlborough fruit cool-fermented to 13.2% alc. and 2.6 g/L rs. 16.0/20 Feb 2012 RRP $9.99
