Governors Bay
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Light straw yellow with tropical citrus and grassy aromas, typical Sauv Blanc. On the palate crisp and tart tropical fruit flavors, very sour grapefruit and tart lemon. Finish has mineral tones, herb & grassy, with medium ending. Your average SB, nothing special, prior vintages were a bit better. Tasting Sample.

This is fabulous! Lemon zest, pineapple, passion fruit and mostly green apple. A mouth full of bang right here! My mouth waters for more! Happy Friday!!

Color of bubbly egg white. Nose of honey and citrus, a bit lime, peach, a bit roasted nuts, and a bit salty mineral. Nose is refreshing and nice. Taste of peach sweetness, citrus and grapefruit, drizzled with some mineral and zest note. Aftertaste is clean and more grapefruit, and a bit warmth from alcohol. Nice.

Very interesting. Clean, crisp melon with grassy undertones leads to a bitter aftertaste. Almost like tasting a forest. The most powerful tones are not necessarily bad, but you end up tasting a bit more than you might have been looking for. Very sharp

Aroma of grass and melon. Crisp, dry, green flavors. Short finish.

Really enjoyed the finish. Medium fruity taste. Very good for the price.

Very nice SB. Well balanced and subtle notes. Doesn’t have the excess grassiness or harsh aftertaste of some SBs. Would buy it again.
