Villa Maria 2007 Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (Wairau Valley)

Country: New Zealand / Wairau Valley
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Winery: Villa Maria / Reserve

This is a big, broad-shouldered Sauvignon Blanc, slightly oily in texture, with pungent scents of crushed tomato leaf and plenty of gooseberry fruit. The high alcohol, moderate acidity and richly concentrated fruit give the impression of sweetness on the long finish.
