Allan Scott Family Winemakers Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandIt’s been a while since we last tasted this label but it would appear time has been kind to the property. The 2016 has all the hallmarks of Marlborough, with super bright citrus overtones marking the jalapeno, nettle, gooseberry aromas. The attack is equally mouthwatering with juicy, crisp, passion fruit, grapefruit, honey, and nettle flavours with just a hint of sweetness. The wine is a mix of different sites across Marlborough which helps to build a full palate of flavours. A perfect growing season added two weeks hang time, further deepening the flavour. Mussels are the classic match.Tasted: 26 April 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.49 | 750ml | BCLS |
