A quick look - Black Cottage Sauvignon Blanc

I love New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I mean I love good New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. That blackcurrant leaf smell, the minerality, the nice fruity citrus and the acidity giving it structure, you know? When it is made well, it becomes magical - like any other grape variety or style.

This is another quickie for ya! Nice wine in the ~15€ price range. Everything good in a NZ SB is present and it is well balanced and above all rather subtle. This is a great combo for people who don't want to be attacked by acidity like munching on lemons. It is a great summer wine to analyze, but a salad and some roasted chicken does bring this bad boy to life. Plus they are big on sustainability and all that eco stuff, woohoo!
Black Cottage available by order basis at Alko stores in Finland. Internationally, check out your local wine heaven.
