Gunn Estate Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2013 delivers
Gunn Estate’s strong winemaking tradition has combined with Marlborough’s superb 2013 vintage to produce a complex and appealing Reserve Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013.
The wine, released this month, builds on Gunn Estate’s record of crafting trusted and respected wines.
The weather gods smiled kindly on Marlborough this year with a cool spring and early summer followed by a warm, dry autumn, creating perfect conditions to produce intensely flavoured wines.
After cold de-juicing to maximise the fruit expression, the juice was fermented using a selection of yeasts that enhance the vibrant characters. A careful, light touch was a priority during the winemaking process to ensure the intense, complex fruit characters have been captured in the bottle.
Tasting Note: Lifted tropical aromas mingle with fresh cut herbs and lemon zest. The nose is layered and complex. The palate opens with a sweet citrus entry, leading to a generous medley of tropical fruits. The finish is infused and lingering with lovely minerality and freshness.
Food match: Thai fish cakes with fresh coriander, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a few sprinkles of finely diced bird’s eye chilli.
Recommended retail price: $19.99.
Gunn Estate Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2013 is available at all good supermarkets.
