Golden Mile Sauvignon Blanc 2009
TASTING NOTES:
A style reminiscent of our gold medal winning ‘99 Sauvignon Blanc, and using grapes selected only from the Rapaura region this excellent wine perpetuates a winning tradition. A typical Marlborough Sauvignon that showcases tropical fruit aromas of pineapple, passionfruit and grapefruit with subtle herbaceous flavours. The dry, lingering palate springs to life with zingy and zestful characteristics synonymous with the Marlborough region.
