Sauvignon Blanc Blind River ‘Arona’

New Zealand, Marlborough

Sauvignon Blanc

There is super ripe citrus that’s almost tropical, spicy citrus blossom, smokey passionfruit, and wet stone minerality. There’s a creamy, perfumed richness that counterbalances the overall lightness and delicacy of what’s gone before. It’s all there, delicate, and intense. Lively, almost zingy on the palate that is, at once, full of smokey minerality that pushes to a mid-palate where the incredibly focused citrus fruit come to the fore, supported by a cast of rich passionfruit, pithy dried herbs and another, slightly briny smokiness that is different to what’s gone before. The finish is so long, juicy, and full of complexity.
