Giesen 2012 The Fuder Single Vineyard Selection Dillons Point Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Country: New Zealand / The Fuder Single Vineyard Selection Dillons Point
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough
Winery: Giesen /

This wine’s expressive aromas and flavors of sweat, green herbs and passion fruit all speak of the Dillons Point subregion, but those excesses are toned down by aging in 1,000-liter oak casks known in German as fuders. That aging has imparted a pleasant creaminess to the midpalate, again mellowing the regional character.
