Description
Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc put New Zealand on the wine world map. It delivers intense, now-classic flavours of gooseberry, melon, lime, and minerality. Pair with grilled chicken, grilled calamari, mildly spiced vegetarian dishes, and stuffed crab.

Tasting Notes
The 2012 Sauvignon Blanc opens with intense grapefruit, passion fruit and green mango notes and touches of pineapple and fresh sage. Medium-bodied with a fair amount of viscosity to the texture, it has lively acid and a long finish. Drinking well now, it should keep to 2014+. Score - 90.
