Tasting of NZ Sauvignons: M&S Kaituna Hills Kaituna Blue Sauvignon Blanc 2014

Variety: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Country of origin: New Zealand
Wine appellation: Marlborough
Vintage: 2014
Alcohol content: 12.5%
Color: watery yellow
Bouquet: very expressive, white currant, lime, citrus style, hint of grass
Taste: medium body, very fresh and zesty,  lime, white grapefruit, white currant, pleasant acidity, medium to longer finish
Overall score: 4+8+11.5+6.5+7.5=87.5
Price: CZK 139 on sale
Stopper: screw cap
From the tasting this one is the best value for sure. Superb lime acidity and freshness is something that I love, however there is no bitterness and  no passion fruit, pure lime character, not a big complexity, but superb freshness, will probably not last a long, but at this point super value for the summer BBQ.
