Sauvignon Blanc ‘Woolpack’ Marlborough

New Zealand, Marlborough

Sauvignon Blanc

Bright, intense floral citrus blossom jump out of the glass at you, straight away. Then comes the rich, slightly heady mix of slightly spicy and perfumed dried herbs. If that isn't enough, there's just a sniff of smokey, pithy minerality and lemongrass. Once again, this fun-loving wine is taking on a very serious edge. Right off the bat, this wine is powerful and light at the same time. How is this so? The juxtaposition of richness and freshness is so clear here, aided by the bright, succulent acidity and super-ripe citrus fruit. Add a weighty, pithy lusciousness like that on the nose and the complexity starts to really build and the finish is, simply, more of the same. This wine continues to charm and surprise.
