Marisco Vineyards Pride & Glory Sauvignon Blanc 2013

An engaging and deeply complex nose of wildly contrasting elements: Mineral tinged lemon – lime citrus with bold savoury elements of smoke, gunflint and yeast.
Building from first aromatic impressions, the palate similarly contrasts classic Waihopai mineral-laced citrus with bold savoury flavours and a subtle new-oak influence. Fine, bright rails of acid pierce the palate creating a sense of tension whilst highlighting the wet, stone-like minerality that contributes both flavour and a fine grainy texture to the fantastically long, rich finish.

This wine will enhance dishes devoted to (Marlborough) seafood, fresh green salads and creamy goat’s cheese.
