Shooting Star Sauvignon Blanc Methode Traditionelle Marlborough NZ

85/100
Quite a sophisticated example of sparkling Sauvignon that's a bit more than fruit and bubbles. The wine has good weight with evidence of some yeast lees character adding extra interest to fairly subtle varietal flavors. Soft-textured sparkler in an off-dry style.
