Wine Review: This pale straw-colored Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand opens with a very fragrant gooseberry and yellow grapefruit bouquet with hints of lime and grass. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is gooseberry and lime blend with notes of yellow grapefruit and saline. I also detected some hints of minerality and ripe honeydew melon. The finish is dry and its flavors drift away nicely. I would pair this Sauvignon Blanc with a grilled swordfish steak. - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Fresh, zesty, juicy, and full, this fruit-driven new world style wine will excite the senses without the racy overload. Tropical fruit with a fresh herbaceous character balanced with zesty passionfruit and a dry finish. A crisp refreshing wine, that shows the true terroir characters of the soils and area it comes from. Best enjoyed now chilled on its own, or last of the summer produce.
