The Brothers Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
What a crazy score at Grocery outlet for $6. One of the best NZSB’s we’ve had. Ultra complex and delicious. Has aged well too.

An older bottle of NZ Sauvignon Blanc opened by our host Alex Giesen in his Puligny chateau.

Bottled under stelvin, this bottle had lost a minor amount of acidity, but you'd never guess it was 9 years old. A nice pull from Alex's private cellar.

A bit nutty and floral on the nose. A hint of Parmesan as well. Palate is delicate and without the extremes of most Marlborough SBs. Mandarin and white grapefruit with gravel and sandstone. + acidity. Nice long briny finish.

Dec 20th, 2016Fruity and sweet, not too dry for me. Smooth, medium tannin. Typical Australian wine.

Jan 5th, 2016Maybe my bottle was off. Harsh grass on the nose and weird chemical aftertaste. Did not care to finish the bottle.
