Benjamin Bridge Sauvignon Blanc Hand Crafted 2016
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaSurprised to see sauvy from Nova Scotia? This is a small lot rarity of Gaspereau Valley sauvignon blanc, and though light in alcohol (12.5 degrees), it is quite concentrated on the compact palate, with pink grapefruit, tangerine, guava on a tight frame, one with a layer of lees action to buffer the vibrant acidity. This reminds me of coastal Chilean, but remains distinctly marine Atlantic. Who knew?Tasted: 23 December 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:CDN | $47.95 | 750ml | winery direct |
