Marisco Vineyards
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
This one is all guava, if you are into that, but refreshingly lacks the typical super grassiness of SBs from down under.

If you prefer more minerality than grapefruit from your Marlborough SB, then this is for you. A solid example in a lighter style. Superb value.

Nicely balanced. The saline and mineral notes balance the bitter grassy notes, and the round ripe fruit notes balance the mouthwatering acidity. For those interested in Pyrazine (grassy note), I recommend the article Pyrazines: A double-edged sword by Deborah Parker Wong. https://deborahparkerwong.com/2017/04/17/pyrazines-a-double-edged-sword/

Rather pear-like, and kind of sweet. Not my favorite but it has some nice bubbles to it.

2015 vintage - grapefruit and classic green bell pepper with a bit of lemongrass. Mouthwatering sour.
