Wine Review: This almost clear Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand opens with an appealing lime zest and mild yellow grapefruit bouquet with hints of faint celery. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is round, bright, zesty, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a lime and grapefruit blend with notes of kiwi and ginger. I also detected hints of saline and kumquat. The finish is dry and refreshing. This Sauvignon Blanc would pair well with a grilled swordfish sandwich and the beach. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Distinctly Marlborough, Wither Hills Wairau Valley Sauvignon Blanc is refined and elegant. Mouth-watering, textural acidity and a juicy core of citrus fruit exudes notes of crunchy greens and tropical guava on the nose. Pair with raw oysters, Pan-seared snapper, or Asian style seafood dishes.
