Shop Review: This bleached blonde beauty is reminiscent of fresh green apples, pineapple and has hints of hibiscus blossoms. The concentration of zesty lemon and gooseberry fills your mouth leaving notes of thyme and melon behind. The bright acid in this wine gives you a zing while the fruit keeps your mouth watering for more. This wine pairs beautifully with a grilled prawn salad with a grapefruit vinaigrette, veggie spring rolls or grilled tilapia with mango salsa.
My Review: On the nose, this wine was very grapey and juicy. Knowing Sauvignon Blancs have a history of "cat pee" smells, I was expecting the worst. I wasn't too surprised about anything in this wine, it had a fairly bland taste. There was a bit more flavor of fruit in the aftertaste.
With Food? No
