Man O' War Sauvignon Blanc 2009

Waiheke Island, Auckland, North Island, New ZealandA new entrant from Waiheke Island, this has 4% sémillon in the blend. Fresh, herbal nose with asparagus, grapefruit, gooseberry, nettle and passion fruit aromas. Fresh, crisp, juicy palate with a hint of sweetness. Grapefruit, gooseberry, grassy, passion fruit, lemon nettle flavours with a bit of asparagus and chalk on the finish. A delicate but austere style with a tart, lemony finish that will go well with light seafood.Tasted: 19 September 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
