Uncharted Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
You can take the girl out if NZ, but you can’t stop her love for Kiwi wine 😉
I love love love this new release from our friends at Giesen. The ‘Uncharted’ 2020 Sauvignon Blanc not only has a stunning label but it’s insanely delicious.
It comes from the Awatere Valley in Marlborough, New Zealand and is aged on lees for three months with a small percentage aged in 1000L German Fuder barrels to give a hint of oak.
In the glass it’s a pretty lemon yellow with hints of preserved lime, pineapple cheesecake and a hint of beeswax on the nose. On the mouth it’s lovely and smooth in texture with some herbs, green apple and refreshing citrus. Even for the non Sauvy drinkers out there, give this one a go, you may enjoy this uncharted journey 😉
Thank you for this media sample Giesen!

I really don’t like this one. It’s earthy and gross tasting to me. I felt like it tasted like a cooking wine.
