Tasting - Yealand Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Name:  Yealands Estate Seaview Vineyard
Variety:  Sauvignon Blanc
Region:  Marlborough
Country:  New Zealand
Year:  2008
Price:  $21.00

Winery reviewThis aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

My review:  This Sauvignon Blanc had a vegetal nose, with green pepper and grassy scents and subtle mineral hints. On the palate, the wine was light and acidic. The flavor profile was vegetal as well.

Food:  Did not have with food
