Greyrock
Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Star bright straw gold in the glass. Inviting though relatively subtle nose of gooseberry/grapefruit. These are on the palate as well with a distinct mineral note running alongside the medium plus acidity from entry to finish. Not your father’s NZ SB as that mineral note actually comes across as more “French-adjacent” than Kiwi. While still not very complex, it definitely shows more nuance than most of its peers. Enjoy with salads, seafood (shellfish or white fleshed fish), fresh fruits, or cream sauces by 2022.

You want a fun, easy to drink and really great New Zealand sauvignon blanc? This is it.

Flinty "sancere" like nose, grass, and orange blossom, with a fruity acidic pallet -pineapple goose berry, and a slight mineral tinge to the finish.
