Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough 2018

The moment the bottle is opened there is no doubt that this is a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Explosive aromas of grapefruit, mango and fresh mown grass lead into intense flavors of lychee, citrus and star fruit. The bright lime-zest finish is both crisp and lingering.

A veritable tropical fruit bowl of aromas—with just the slightest whisper of grass—slides smoothly into a light- to medium-bodied palate of zingy acidity, slippery texture and plenty more ripe pineapple and guava fruit.
