NZ-6 – NV; Location Wines; New Zealand

Some countries have given a few wine grape varietals a distinct geographic location where they have made a substantial mark and have become a traditional varietal for that area. Sauvignon Blanc is one such grape New Zealand is well known for in the wine world. In fact, one might say the two are synonymous. To say New Zealand has made Sauvignon Blanc great again is a gross understatement. In fact, that country has made it outstanding! Although this grape is not originally from that country, the soils, climate, and people have worked with it and made it one of the most well-known and sought-after wines of the world. The people behind Location Wines have done justice to New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.  Sourced from old vines of Wairau, Awatere and Waihopai valleys, its lovely pale color is just the tip of the sensory journey as you relish this wine. Pour a glass and breathe in all that the wine has to offer which is heavy on the heady tropical aromas for this wine. Take a sip or two and you’ll be enticed by the lusciously overwhelming ripe fruit flavors of peach and passionfruit. There is an intense tart lemon finish with a touch of herbal notes.  Want to try the experience again?  Buy a bottle or two or three and repeat. Feel blessed that they are still for sale at your popular wine shop. There is still ample opportunity to enjoy!
