Bishops Leap Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2018

Description

Dry

"An immediately appealing sauvignon, the inviting bouquet shows peach, rockmelon, lemon peel and jasmine characters, leading to a attractively expressed palate that is juicy and mouth-watering. The wine delivers bright fruit intensity, finishing long and very tasty. At its best: now to 2020" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2018

Typical Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc aromas of freshly cut capsicum, passion fruit and zesty citrus with black currant notes.  The palate is fresh and fruity with delicious flavours of ripe peaches and gooseberry with an elegant salty mineral note.  A pleasing herbaceous thread leads to a long lingering finish. Fruit for this wine is harvested from a number of quality Marlborough vineyards and fermented in stainless steel to retain bright, lifted fruit flavours.

Food Pairing: Ideal for drinking now or at its freshest over the next 1-2 years. Enjoy on its own or with  freshly caught blue cod and a summer salad.
