Greenhough Sauvignon Blanc 2006 Wednesday, Aug 22 2007
Tasting Notes and New Zealand and Variety and White and sauv blanc et al and Nelson
The bottle shot here looks like it is falling backwards but the wine is not backwards in coming forwards. It contains 5% fermented in new oak too.
Aromas of passionfruit pulp, pineapple, capsicum, a little sweat and a dab of creamed honey. Punchy aromatics. On the palate passionfruit, citrus zest, pineapple and spicy capsicum flavours with a fairly soft texture and just enough acidity to provide a shape and cut - albeit a slightly loose fit. Finishes with zesty citrus rind and capsicum aftertaste. A more gentle expression of NZ Sauvignon Blanc.
