Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc 2007
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandMount Nelson is a different expression of sauvignon for Marlborough, in the sense that Lodovico and winemaker Helena Lindberg are seeking a more restrained "Sancerre" style. The goal is tropical citrus fruits without too much of the aggressive tinned asparagus notes. The '08 hits most of the notes with bright fresh aromas of jalapeno, mineral, honey and grapefruit with just a wisp of gooseberry. Similar flavours mark the palate which is blanced and offers some complexity from seven months of lees ageing. Well done.Tasted: 23 September 2009Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $29.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - AltoVin |
