Wine Review: This almost clear colored Sauvignon Blanc from Greywacke was our top scoring wine in our recent big blind tasting. It opens with a mild yellow grapefruit bouquet with hints of matchstick, green pepper and salty ocean breezes. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and balanced between its fruit and acidity. The flavor profile is a tasty lime and grapefruit blend with nicely integrated minerality. We also detected hints of white pepper and green pepper. The finish is dry and lingers for a while. The Tasting Panel thought this wine would pair well with grilled swordfish. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: An aromatic salsa-like fusion of ripe summer fruit and fragrant Asian spices. Nectarines and yellow peaches, rock melon, grapefruit and a splash of passionfruit – mingled with ginger and lemongrass, jasmine flowers and cassis. A deliciously ripe and zesty Marlborough Sauvignon with a lemony, citrus thread that finishes crisp and dry.
