Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Crisp with a touch of honey. Enjoyable wine, nothing too dramatic. Easy-drinking and casual.

The label suggests this #marlborough #sauvignonblanc be served a bit warmer than usual, (55°F) and I can see why. The color changing dot 🌡 on the label seems gimmicky, though. Aroma doesn’t shove gauva and tropical fruit in your face as usual for value SBs from this region; instead there is more subtle grapefruit, some grassy notes. Moderate acidity on the palate, still crisp and very quaffable as it warms up on a potluck-on-the-patio summer evening.

I'm not as crazy about this as some, and I think it's because it's less sweet, and might even go better with food because of that.

Feb 10th, 2020Pleasant with slight acidity. Lacking the light crispness and citrusy notes of some other NZ Sauvignon Blancs.
