Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough, New Zealand: Stoneleigh Sauvignon Blanc 2009


The wine is light straw in color with green highlights. This wine displays vibrant fruit intensity. Ripe grapefruit, citrus and passionfruit fruit flavours dominate, and to layer over this is an added mineral complexity. The palate shows balance, both ripe flavors and fresh acidity.

Bright and jazzy, light on balance but still zingy, offering pear, pineapple and lime flavors that don't quit. Drink now. 11,000 cases imported.
