No. 8 Wire Sauvignon Blanc 2008

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandTypically intense classic Marlborough sauvignon style that opens with a big aromatic nose of capsicum, tinned asparagus, passion fruit and melons. The palate is similarly charged with bits of gooseberry and citrus and nettle notes lingering in the finish. Fresh crisp belligerent New Zealand sauvignon best served with a plate of steaming fresh mussels.Tasted: 05 May 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
