Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandAlways strange (to me) to taste a wine from the year that you're currently in. But that's the benefit of two hemispheres on this planet and the fact that some wines, like this New Zealand sauvignon blanc, shine when young and fresh. 2015 marks Cloudy Bay's 30th anniversary as well as one of the driest summers on record for the country. Concentrated tropical fruits - kiwi, gooseberry, papaya, tangerine - rule from first whiff, alongside a tangy, potent base of meadow grass, green pepper and greengage. Lemon peel spikes the acidity up a few notches on this intense Marlborough sauvignon blanc. Not shy, and a great example of this type of Kiwi sauvignon.
