Grove Mill Sauvignon Blanc 2010

|
2010 Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is going to be both higher in alcohol and “zingier” than average. This should make for some very exciting wines. The fruit variations across blocks was staggering this year with huge influences from vineyard terroir.
Bouquet: A very satisfying bouquet with lots of passion fruit, sherbet, tropical fruit and typical Marlborough herbaceousness. The slightly salty, minerally note on the nose shows up the 17 Valley fruit in the wine very nicely.
Palate: The wine has a very intense entry onto the palate starting at the tip of the tongue and spreading out towards the very back in a wave of flavour. The acidity is quite apparent with great intensity of feijoa, lime and minerality leaving the palate with a very long finish. There’s also plenty of room for development to add to the already weighty mouthfeel.
