Wine Review: Normally you think New Zealand, when you think of South Pacific Sauvignon Blanc, but this producer from Adelaide has been making Very Good Sauvignon Blanc for a real long time. This vintage is no exception. This light yellow wine opens with a light lime like bouquet. On the palate, this light bodied wine has absolutely no hard edges at all. It is very smooth, and has very tasty light lime like flavors. The finish is dry and lingers nicely. This is a wonderful food wine to pair with Chicken St. Timothy or any other cream based chicken dish. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: This wine is made with no oak and no MLF, allowing the zesty varietal characters of the grape to be expressed. The nose is a myriad of fresh, ripe tropical fruit aromas that are vibrant but not overpowering. The palate is bright and retains high, natural, mouth watering acidity balanced by a slight amount of residual sweetness. This wine is great drinking with seafood, salads, sushi and Asian cuisine. We bottle using a screw-cap closure to retain freshness, eliminate “corked” bottles and to ensure 100% quality integrity. We also personally love the idea that the wine can be opened quickly and easily, after all the sole reason we make this wine is for your drinking pleasure!
