Sauvignon Blanc, Sandy Cove 2010, Marlborough - $42

Grapes:                                100% Sauvignon Blanc
From:                   NEW ZEALAND, Marlborough

Description:
This wine is very much what you would expect from a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc.  It has that undeniable grassy taste element with citrus undertones that make these wines so great.  Add to this a roundness and richness that is not always found and you get a wonderful New Zealand find.
Fact:
This wine is produced by wine maker Allan Scott, also known as “Mr Marlborough” as he physically helped to plant the region’s first vineyard in this part of New Zealand in 1973 and has taken part in every vintage since then.
               
Food Pairing:
The grassy aspect of this wine make it a natural with dishes that use leafy green herbs like cilantro or parsley or basil – it also goes well with green salad and goat cheese! -  Chopped Salad, asparagus, green garlic.
