Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

Barrel aged, pale lemon with aromas of ripe stone and tropical fruits with citrus and floral notes, wonderful phenolics. On the palate fresh fruit flavors of melon, apricot and ripe apple with lemon citrus wrapped in lively acidity, medium+ length ending with creamy citrus mineral texture. Very Nice! Will benefit for short-term aging.
This Barrel aged Sauvignon Blanc is very multi-dimensional, exhibiting layers of fruit. Flavors of spicy pear and mango emerge from the creamy palate. — 9 days ago

A wonderfully aromatic wine, with a nose full of fresh cut grass, grapefruit and lemon zest.  Continues with an expressive pallate which has a lively but not overbearing acidity, and flavors of grapefruit, peach, and notes of river rocks. While I haven't found a NZ Sauvignon Blanc I didn't like, this one is definitely a cut above. It was a perfect pairing for a seasonal favorite, fresh ramp pasta! ($11) [4/18/21] — 19 days ago

Very crisp and clean, maybe a touch of green apple in there. Great for a hot day serve really cold! Love it. — 6 days ago

Great way to start our sushi dinner. Passion fruit explosion on the nose and palate. Mid palate displays lychee and moderate sweetness. Relaxed acidity and a compressed finish complete what is otherwise a strong showing, especially for the modest price. — 6 days ago

Martinille grillissä savustetun lohen kaveriksi vapuksi ostettu SB noin 15 €. Yllättävän hyvä, pidän oikein kovasti. ❤ Sitruksinen, viheromenainen, herukanlehtinen, nokkoksinen ja ennen kaikkea aivan yllättävästi passionhedelmäinen! Tuoksussa merivesi ja suutuntuma öljyinen, ei niin rapsakka ja hyökkäävä kuin SB yleensä ja siksi ehkä just hyvä. Toimisikohan Miikkulille, joka ei pidä SB:sta? Minä ostaisin toistekin ehdottomasti! Huikee! 😊🥂 — 6 days ago

This pale, yellow wine smells extremely grassy - no surprise for a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. There is also a large swath of grapefruit, cantaloupe and tropical fruits cutting through the nose. The grapefruit comes through explosively on the palate, along with a mineral streak a mile wide. The mouthfeel is quite crisp and the acidity zippy. There is just a tiny hint of sweetness here, and the citrus flavor lasts a long while on the finish. You can pair this with any sort of white meat or seafood, but I think it would be a great choice to go with one’s breakfast eggs, if one were so inclined. — 18 days ago

Выпито в Лофте 27.04.21. Очень выразительный с серьёзными оттенками цитрусовых совиньон блан 2019 года из города Нельсон. Однозначно не мой выбор- слишком кислотный, с элементами газирования. Но легкий и ароматный. — 10 days ago
