2009 White Label Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note
This wine exhibits all the characters of a typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc with passionfruit, citrus, nettles, cut grass and hints of capsicum.

These aromas light the path to a soft, well rounded palate with a luscious mouth feel and pronounced fruit characters. The finish is limey and assertive.

Sauvignon Blanc is a very functional variety – perfect for a wide range of occasions. From lunchtime laughter to pre dinner drinks, or being expertly paired with gourmet cuisine (especially seafood), it is usually an infallible choice.

Best consumed young or within 1-2 years of bottling date.

Reviews
An intensely aromatic nose displaying lime zest, blackcurrant and herbaceous characters. It's juicy and full of delicious flavours showing a rounded mouthfeel and a lengthy juicy finish. The wine is gorgeously vibrant and lively. At its best: now to 2012. Sam Kim, 2010.
