Quite a weighty Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with a suggestion of residual sugar although crisp acidity promotes a fairly dry finish. The flavours are a mixture of cut grass/lemon grass with riper tree fruit characters. Solid varietal wine at a smart price.

Tasted: Apr 2011   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $16 (~USD $12)
