Ketu Bay Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
$7.99/bottle
WBW Rating: 94/100
Region: Marlborough NZ
Don't Pay: $19.99 /bottle
A brilliant, clear to pale straw-green colour is enticing from the get go. Typical Marlborough Sauvignon aromas of grapefruit, passionfruit and ripe gooseberry with a hint of stealy flint as backbone, wrapped up with a lovably intriguing, mouth lingering complexity.
The palate is prime Marlborough, with fresh aromatics full of racy vigour. Flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry, melon and grapefruit are balanced by lime acidity and good fruit sweetness that round it out nicely. The palate is well structured and tapers to a very sessionably long with a lingering finish. For Summer days, quelling the cacophony of noisy children or simply sharing a conversation with your partner, this is a classic Marlborough statement that will not fail to bring a smile to your lips |

One of the best wines I have seen in many a year. Big vintage choc a block with rich spicy Shiraz fruit. This Principal Shiraz has been selected from premium vineyards in the famous McLaren Vale region of South Australia, and blended with an exceptional portion of Langhorne Creek Shiraz that became available through a stroke of luck that we just had to pass on to you. The winery behind this wine has an exceptional track record for producing award winning Shiraz, and although we can't reveal the name, this regional blend is another winner. Limited stocks so get in quick! |
