Saint Clair Family Estate Vicar's Choice Sauvignon Blanc 2007

Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc  
Country of origin: New Zealand
Wine appellation: Marlborough
Vintage: 2007
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: pale yellow
Bouquet: white currant, nettle, lime (quite cool climate style rather than Marlborough passion fruit)
Taste: medium body, white grapefruit, white currant, excellent bone dry, very good acidity, lime character, medium to slightly longer finish
Recommended food pairing: fish
Overall score: 4+8+13+6+7+50=88

Very nice Sauvignon, I would not guess New Zealand on blind tasting, rather Leyda valley from Chile. I guess 2007 must have been colder vintage. Amazing freshness considering 2007 vintage.
