Matariki Sauvignon Blanc 2002

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandBig passion fruit leafy character mixed with big time herbal/bell pepper and mint. Intense citrus rind and bell pepper flavours with asparagus and a pleasing, limey, crisp finish. Balance is fine but you have to be a fan of the herbal side. Mussels in Marinara sauce might be the ticket here.Tasted: 04 May 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
