Staete Landt Sauvignon Blanc Estate Grown 2009

Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandFloral, green melon, grapefruit, gooseberry, spicy lees, butter and green apple aromas with a passion fruit streak. Fresh, crisp, round, full palate with nice textures. Canned jalapeno, passion fruit, grapefruit, gooseberry, baked apple flavours and a bit of butter and spice on the finish. Good concentration and finesse but young and zippy. Needs 1-2 years to integrate but delicious now.Tasted: 23 June 2010Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
