Tasting Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc


• Name: Yealands Estate Sauvignon Blanc
• Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
• Region: Marlborough
• Country: New Zealand
• Year: 2008
• Price: $7.95
• Shop/wine critic/winery review:"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."
• My review: This Sauvignon Blanc has a nice golden color, very clear. I thought it smelled very acidic and fruity at the same time. This wine was very well balanced, I enjoyed the acidity and fruitiness. At first I taste nothing but its strong acidic flavors, but then the fruity components kick in and balance it out right. I thought this wine was well made and definitely deserves a try. 
• I had this wine at a wine tasting.
