From the text on the label you might think it’s a South African white, but it is in fact just one more astonishing sauv bl from Marlborough. Is there anything more bracing than a NZ sauv bl? Can the region do no wrong? [Insert several tongue-drooping emoticons.]
There is a gorgeous nose, deeply fragrant, with flavours of straw, green, some floral notes, very generous finish, beautifully complementary to vegetarian mains and fish. We finished it in a flash. Anything negative? We found it a touch too acid. For the price? Sensational. New Zealand comes through once again.
Price: $19.99 at Everything Wine; $18.99 with the case discount.
Market Liquidity: This swell sells for the price of a barely drinkable bottom of the barrel BC white; you do the math.
