Kótuku, Sauvignon Blanc - Light yellow
in colour with green reflections. In the
nose, a pungent aroma of characteristic
gooseberries, fresh herbs, grass and
passion fruit. In the mouth, the wine
is juicy and you taste the fresh green
of celery, gooseberries, fresh grass,
but also tropical fruit such as passion
fruit and the fresh acidity of citrus
fruit. The aftertaste is long,
refreshing and crisp!
The Sauvignon Blanc has a zesty and
vibrant nose, with notes of juicy citrus
and makrut lime underpinned by subtle white
nectarine and passionfruit notes. The palate is
mouthwatering, with ripe vibrant passionfruit
and citrus at the fore. These meld with
tropical hints of peach and guava, gently
balanced by stony saline notes.
A natural match for almost any seafood, maybe
some tempura oysters, locally-caught sashimi,
and steamed mussels with garlic, citrus and
parsley. It’s also a great match for green salads
and goats’ cheese. A hint from us: if it goes
with lemon, it goes with Sauvignon Blanc.
