Wednesday, August 25, 2010Cloudy Bay Te Koko 2005, MarlboroughThe premium label of Sauvignon Blanc from the most iconic label in New Zealand. The last vintage with the old label, Te Koko was a new direction for New Zealand's Sauvignon Blanc. Made to make you think about what you're drinking not to just quench a thirst. The rich creamy almost velvet in nature is due to the barrel maturation, the smooth tropical fruit finishes with a spicy dryness that is complimented with a racy acid through the middle. Perfectly balanced and likely to take you the evening to understand! 93 Points RRP $55
Tuesday, August 24, 2010Saint Clair Sauvignon Blanc 2010, MarlboroughFrom one of the most respected Marlborough wineries comes this latest vintage of Sauvignon Blanc. Saint Clair focus on Sauvignon Blanc more than any other wineries in the country and this wine helps one to understand what Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc is all about. The passion fruit mixed with freshly cut pineapple are the indicators that this wine is typical Marlborough. The fruit is in abundance and a tropical fruit salad and good linear nature allow this wine to express the essence of Marlborough. 88 Points RRP $20
Sunday, August 22, 2010Matua Road Sauvignon Blanc 2009
The colour is very light yellow but the nose gives very good aromatics. The aromatics are of freshly cut hay, sweet tinned peas and some spice whilst the palate is off dry with good fruit concentration. This wine would make a great accompaniment to white fish from the BBQ. 84 Points RRP $15 Thursday, August 19, 2010Wine Review: Nga Waka Sauvignon Blanc 1999, Martinborough
Many believe that NZ Sauvignon Blanc must be drunk within the first couple of years, but Sauvignon Blanc from quality producers can easily last 10 years on careful cellaring. The Nga Waka Sauvignon Blanc 1999 from Martinborough is one of these wines. The wine has obviously changed from release but has all the fruit still present with a beautifully balanced acid structure. Hints of marmalade, honey, and other tropical delights fill the air and translate well on the palate. The texture is reminiscent of Sancerre and the balance would make Libra proud. Go get yourself some aged Sauvignon, even if from only 2007! 91 Points RRP $24 Tuesday, August 17, 2010Ohau Gravels Sauvignon Blanc 2009
The delicate passion fruit and mineral chalkiness will leave traditional Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc lovers at a loss. What this wine offers is a layered complexity that combines fruit and texture. More Martinborough than Marlborough in its style but has an air of intrigue for the more discerning palate. This wine has great length and body and one will be rewarded by cellaring this wine for the next 2-5 years. 89 Points RRP $20
