Te Awa, Left Field Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, 2011

Tasted by: Anthony Rose
Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc may be a bit of an upstart compared to its more classic counterparts, but as a modern phenomenon, it enjoys a fruity reputation for its remarkable symmetry. This wine is all about grace under pressure. With pinpoint precision and stamina, it delivers a harmonious routine of aromatic, refreshing light spritz, restrained pear and gooseberry fruit and a dry finish. The freshness and restraint of this almost Sancerre-like Kiwi dry white shows it’s no fish out of water.
