Brancott Estate B Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Sauvignon Blanc
from Marlborough, New Zealand
winemaker's notes:
Through careful vineyard selection and hand-crafted winemaking, this
Sauvignon Blanc is Brancott's finest expression of Marlborough's most famous
variety. This wine shows vibrant fruit flavors, a hint of barrel fermentation
and a complex, concentrated palate.
Color: Pale straw with green hints.
Aromas: Lifted capsicum and fresh herb aromas, coupled with intense, ripe
stone fruit.
Palate: The palate shows rich, concentrated fruit flavors with tropical fruits
as well as an underlying fresh herb note. The oily palate is balanced with a
lively acidity and subtle, complex, barrel-ferment notes.
It is fabulous with rich seafood dishes, especially scallops, clams and crab,
or with fresh green leafy salads.
