Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc

Mount Riley Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand. The area of Marlborough is ideally suited to Sauvignon Blanc. The warm days, cool nights and little rainfall in summer and autumn ensure optimal, long and slow ripening of the grapes, which can thus optimally retain their aromas. The result is a highly aromatic wine with grassy notes and aromas of melon and citrus fruit, among others. Due to the present and necessary fresh acidity, the wine comes across as very fruity and is ready to drink early. It is a very intense wine, full of tropical fruits and a very long finish. The fresh acidity present makes the wine very lively.

Sauvignon Blanc also called fumé blanc, is the most important white grape of Bordeaux. Fresh, fruity wines are made along the Loire. In Sauternes, the grape is blended with the sémillon. Sauvignon blanc spread to the rest of the world through migrants in the 18th century. In wine regions with a temperate climate, the grape feels at its best. Sauvignon Blanc, locally called Surin, is one of the oldest grape varieties planted in France. Sauvignon Blanc has a characteristic perfume of flowers and gooseberries, is spicy but can be both astringent (around the upper Loire) and plump and round. The wines usually have high acidity
