Tasting- Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Name: Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc

Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Price: $7.95
Region: 
Country: New Zealand
Year: 2012









Description: This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.

This wine smelled like the Payne Hall hallway...but was refreshing on the tongue. I had just eaten really salty tortilla chips in the car before the tasting, and this wine had a soft soothing effect.
