Forefathers Sauvignon Blanc 2006

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandForefathers Sauvignon Blanc comes from a single vineyard on an eastern slope in the heart of Marlborough comprised of a gravely loam soil. Produced by Goldschmidt Vineyards, this is exceptionally tasty New Zealand sauvignon that concentrates on ripe mature flavours versus the aggressive, pungent herbal aspects. Its tank-fermented on the lees to add a creamy quality to the texture and complement its fabulous fruit flavours. Look for plenty of peachy/pear fruit that slips on the palate with just enough acidity and structure to make it food friendly. This is stage two of the modern-day, pristine, Kiwi sauvignon that comes, as you might expect, under Stelvin closure.Tasted: 23 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
