Winemaker Notes: "Sourced from the South Island of New Zealand, this Sauvignon Blanc exhibits complexity and a vibrant zing. Flavors of Meyer lemons and Key limes integrate with hints of grapefruits, gooseberry and citrus, culminating in a long, creamy finish. Long, cool seasons in New Zealand's Marlborough region allow our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. The grapes are harvested at night and gently crushed before undergoing cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. An extended fermentation sur lie adds richness and softness, complementing the fruit's natural zest and acidity."
My Review: This wine was very citrusy--I picked up flavors of lemon and lime juice. The acidity and tartness make it light and refreshing. Would be a good pair for grilled chicken.
I tasted this on its own, with no food.
