While the label dubs this a "white wine", the Naked Wine site refers to it as a Sauvignon Blanc, so perhaps it is a SB-dominant blend? At first taste it does evoke the classic New Zealand style SBs, with lots of lemon-lime citrus and grassy flavors; however, once it has breathed a little bit (it's still quite young), it reveals some pleasant Chardonnay-like creaminess to the body. Perhaps 75% SB and 25% Chard? Stood up to spicy Asian potstickers and chicken egg rolls with a kale and Brussels sprouts chopped salad. Buy a few bottles and stash away for a year!

Honeysuckle blossoms and sweet grapefruit, all day! Very light, crisp and refreshing.
