Not often do I drink whites, but this one was pretty good. 100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Super crisp nose, lemon, green apple, delicate floral notes(grass and maybe unripe tomato leaves). I've only had a few Marlborough Sauv Blanc, but have thoroughly enjoyed them (as a less white drinker).
Great acidity, really gets my mouth watering. Feels like I'm biting into a granny smith 🍏. Little bit of citrus, some passionfruit/lychee too, not overly sweet tropical fruit. I'm more used to plenty of BC Okanagan Valley Sauvignon Blancs I've tasted having lots of tropical sweet fruit.The finish isn't overly complex, but nice and dry.
Nothing extravagant or special, but really good. Not overly complex throughout the tasting , but doesn't need to be I think. Great at around ~20$. I tried to grab a crisp, dry, easy white for the spicy chorizo burgers I cooked on my new pellet smoker today. 🍔
Happy Thursday everyone! 🍷

Nice pick, Marlborough SBs are hard to beat for that crispy easy-drinking thing, sounds like it paired perfectly with those chorizo burgers
That’s a lovely tasting note.
Happy Thursday evening/night, to you too.
