Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
Pale lemon in color with a green hue.
Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate tangy and interesting.
Showing limes, grapefruits, light tropical notes, earth, grass, gooseberry, lychee, and mango.
I've had better vintages of this wine, especially the 2020.
Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine by the pool.
Pairs nicely with food too, like fresh seafood and oysters.
88 points.
$12.

Pale straw with green edges and aromas of citrus and tropical fruits with floral herb notes. On the palate juicy apricot, peach and grapefruit with lemon zest, classic New Zealand SB. Vivid acidity and spice complement this well balanced wine to a medium finish.

From the hotel minibar. Very NZ Sauvignon Blanc. Grassy, lemon, racy acidity and a little herbal/floral at the end. I haven’t had this style in a while, and I’m really enjoying it after a successful day out in Mile End.
