Stanley Estates Sauvignon Blanc
Marlborough New Zealand

2011

A delicious Sauvignon, which would more than rival most Sancerres. Made by talented wine maker Jules Taylor‚ on a tiny, family-owned vineyard in Marlborough, where many of the best New Zealand Sauvignons are made. Stanley’s 2010 vintage won almost every award going—International Wine Challenge NZ Sauvignon Blanc, New Zealand White Wine and International Sauvignon Blanc—and we think the 2011 is better.

Our tasting notes

Pale silvery colour. Strong citrus flavours on the nose with hints of gooseberry. Lovely intense flavours of lime, gooseberry, elderflower and green peppers. Great acidity and length. This is very superior Sauvignon—one of the very best. Ideal with mussels, poached white fish and crayfish.
