Twin Islands Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandNew Zealand's Marlborough district turned sauvignon on its ear 25 years ago with its, cool, intense version of this variety but lately the region's sauvignon is beginning to develop finesse. Twin Islands has a smoky, jalapeno, gooseberry, mineral nose and a slightly oily, but crisp texture. Bits of canned asparagus mix with passion fruit, pink grapefruit and smoky mineral flavours and its slightly bitter, lime-rind finish. Should be perfect with oysters or mussels.Tasted: 16 September 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
