Reserve Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc

Usually I don’t like SB, but by this age this all the stinky std smell had gone(no buxus, no cat litter sent), but it is traded for a much fuller matured taste. Ripe tropical fruits, still lots of fresh acids. Light caramel touch in the post taste. So, yes, perhaps no longer a typical mineral, fresh an flowery SB. I can do mineral, but the buxus lightness is not my cup of tea. So lots of videos for this 11 years old SB. Had it wit a green asparagus frittata, great combo.

Lovely, easy going white. Drank on a hot day and it slipped down a little too easy.

Nice fruit undertones - passion fruit, mango. Not quite as bright as I’d like. Can turn a bit waxy with creamy sauces, but excellent on its own. Medium grassy/ herby by NZ sauv blanc standards. Decent.

Выпито в гордом одиночестве 29-30 мая 2019 на балконе съемной квартиры в Тель-Авиве. Однозначно - лучший совиньон блан у производителя Villa Maria 2017 год - нежный, фруктовый, минеральный и очень легко пьётся. Мне понравилось.
