Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2017
Marlborough, South Island, New ZealandCan a wine be too intense? Maybe, but Cloudy Bay seem to toe the line, albeit to the edge, when it comes to flavour intensity. Lime and grapefruit is the CC mantra, with grassy peach, guava gooseberry notes throughout, and texture seldom seen in sauvignon. Iconic and a benchmark for the region that delivers even in a challenging year like 2017. Mussels in a curry sauce is a fine match.Tasted: 13 December 2017Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $33.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
