Goose Bay
South Island Sauvignon Blanc
New Zealand
The wine I have opened is the 2021 Goose Island South Island Sauvignon Blanc. From Upper Moutre, New Zealand.
On the nose there is lime, grapefruit, tangerine, gooseberry, honeydew melon, grass, herbal notes and minerality.
On the palate is grapefruit, white peach, lime, jalapeno, herbaceousness and flintiness.
This wine is light to medium bodied with a fresh clean mouthfeel medium + acidity that leaves you with a long citrus mineral finish. We now have 3 1/2 days until Christmas and everyone has all their shopping done. Please stay safe and healthy on these days before Christmas. Nostrovia! π₯π₯π₯π₯

Tonight's wine I have opened the 2018 Goose Bay South Island Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand. You may remember I opened the 2017 Goose Bay Sauvignon Blanc back in November.
The nose has notes of lime, kiwi fruit, papaya, orange rind, dry herbs, asian spice and crushed clay.
On the palate there is nice citrus notes, lime, white peach, grapefruit, melon, minerality and flint rock.
This wine is medium bodied with medium + acidity that leads into a long fresh citrus and minerality finish. The start of the week has been a good one and I hope it has been for you too. Please have a safe week ahead. Nostrovia! π₯π₯π₯

Green and tart. Lots of zesty apple. Nice with seafood. Has structure and a sense of place.

Dry yet zesty. Opens up a lot as it warms up. Lemon, grapefruit. Would pair well with steamed clams or white fish.
Definitely has some unique features for a SB. As some would say...terroir.
