2008 Black Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note
Passionfruit, red capsicum and lychee fruit aromas lead the way to a soft, well rounded palate with a weighty mouth feel. The aromas experienced on the nose intermingle throughout the whole length of the wine. The 15% oak influence provides a subtle toastiness while a fine acidity contributes to the balance and adds a nice length to the finish.

A wine to enjoy with good company and great food – especially pan-fried seafood dishes.

As under screwcap, this wine can be cellared for 2 – 3 years for increased complexity.
