Tasting Notes...
C O L O U R: Light yellow in colour with greenish hues and brilliant clarity.
N O S E: An aromatic bouquet of gooseberry balanced by ripe tropical fruit aromas of pineapples and passionfruit.
P A L A T E: Drylands Sauvignon Blanc displays the quintessential Marlborough qualities of rich, ripe tropical fruit and citrus flavours. The palate has luscious weight and complexity, lingering in a crisp, refreshing finish.
F O O D P A I R I N G: A fantastic aperitif or as an accompaniment to light seafood and poultry dishes.
We say...
This wine is our favourite NZ Sauvignon. Refined, balanced and complex giving the key qualities you seek from a NZ Sauvignon, yet wonderfully understated in its delivery compared to some of the overpowering Sauvignons of the same region. For us, this wine is right up there with the best Sancerres and, dare we say, even the iconic Cloudy Bay. Impress anyone with with an eye for quality by selecting this wine.
You say...
This wine has been hard to source but well worth the effort. It is an excellent sauvignon blanc, one of the best from New Zealand.
It is fantastic value for the superb quality and is on a par to Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
Would highly recommend this wine!
