Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc, 2007


Yes Yes Yes , i think i found one. A white that i think i would go out and buy again. Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc is a New Zealand wine form the Wairau Valley in the major wine growing area of Marlborough.
I liked this wine, I liked the taste and it didn't reminded me of cheap pub wine after the first taste. It has a lovely clean fresh colour , with a citrus fruit bouquet maybe gooseberry i think but i haven't had gooseberries in while so i could be wrong.
On taste it was crisp like biting into a ripe green apple, it has the slightest fizz to it which refreshed the mouth so it would defiantly be a good food wine but this also made it very moreish, this is easily a summer wine with fine lemon and lime acidity. Although this is finely balanced which leaves a nice and dry after taste.
I would definitely get this again, in fact im sure they sell it in the local Oddbins so i may pick up a bottle from their to compare prices.
