Eva Pemper Single Vineyard Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2021

Description

Dry, Floral, Guava, Pineapple

"Bright, pale straw-yellow, even colour throughout. The nose is expressive with a spice kick, aromas of pineapple, guava filled the glass with elderflower, Thai basil and white spice. Medium-bodied, fresh aromas of pineapple, guava have a juicy core, along with lime, elderflower melded harmoniously, Thai basil and white spice linger on the finish added interest. The wine is elegantly presented with well-proportioned features. Juicy acidity balances the sweet fruit and lengthens with spice, lends a long finish. A hint of stony minerals lightly coated the palate. This is a delicate, well-proportioned Sauvignon Blanc with pristine fruit, acid balance and a spice kick. Match with Thai steamed fish and green-lipped mussels over the next 3-4 years. Machine-harvested, cool-fermented" Candice Chow, Raymond Chan Reviews, Dec 2021

"A very international expression with aromas and flavours of mineral and lemon, apple and fresh green herb, a fine lees and stony soil qualities. A satin texture with salivating acidity and fruit flavours that reflect the bouquet, fine herbaceous quality and lengthy finish. A lovely example ready for drinking alongside your favourite seafood and salad dishes from today and through end of summer 2025" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, May 2022
