Whitehaven
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand
As crisp and refreshing as all the previous vintages. Great minerals. One of my favorite NZ SBs.

One of the better NZ SB’s I’ve tasted so far this summer. Exceptional mouthfeel with a broad palate of cantaloupe, grapefruit, peach.

Drank 5/7/19.
My first taste of anything from '18
Pale yellow in the glass, this displays classic New Zeland scents: Grass, lemon, kumquat, along with some underripe tangerines. Well balanced yet fairly simple with lemon curd and tangerine flavors. A touch of sweetness balances the acidity. Light body, short finish. Very refreshing.
3/21/7/5/2 +50=88 pts.

Not your typical Sauvignon blanc. Not too dry with notes of complex flavors.
