Wairau Reserve Sauvignon Blanc  2011 Marlborough - NEW ZEALAND
 
UPC/EIN Code : 6-91136-11120-5
 

Intensely concentrated aromas of grapefruit, blackcurrants and passionfruit, with underlying notes of fresh green capsicum. On the palate, this is an incredibly pungent Sauvignon Blanc with powerful passion fruit, grapefruit and blackcurrant and an underlying mineral note. The palate is intensely concentrated and full with a long, lingering finish. 

Ideally matched with oysters, scallops, salmon or pan-fried white fish.

All of this intensity is balanced by a juicy acidity. Drink now. "

That depth of flavor contrasts with clean, crisp brightness, leaving an impression of passionfruit, lime zest and cool coastal minerality. Cellar this for a year or two and serve with seared scallops and truffled mashed potatoes."
