Latitude Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Oh my. If you want to know what makes a New Zealand Sauvignon blanc such a specific flavour, try this one. The nose is LOADED with flower shop and the palate introduces all kinds of green grapes and citrus. The acidity is nicely integrated but the tart stands out a bit. Not my favourite varietal, but this is a good expression of it in both terroir and grape.

Sep 3rd, 2016Sour, extremely bright and acidic. Guava, passion fruit, green apple, underripe mango, hint of green pepper. Great with shrimp scampi.

Oct 2nd, 2023Very forward with the grapefruit! Liked this sauv-blanc with a lot of personality; I had it after working in the yard on a sunny day and it hit the spot.
