Sun and Air Sauvignon Blanc 2016
Coastal Region, South AfricaCapturing the warm sun of South Africa and the cool coastal breezes, Sun & Air is a new line from Boutinot, in their ever-expanding reach of affordable, well-made, excellently packaged wines from around the globe. They do particularly well with South Africa, finding interesting pockets of grapes and working with local vintners to make well priced, tasty wines. Like this, sourced from the foothills of Paarl Mountain, the second largest granite outcrop in the world after Oz's Ayers Rock. Decomposed granite is hinted through the stony minerality woven in this wine. Bright and sunny with a steely backbone, streaming lemony acidity and heaps of green: apple, peas, asparagus, grass atop a fine layer of lees. The finish snaps to attention with zesty spice. This is a youthful, sunny wine for drinking now.Tasted: 18 May 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $14.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
