Clifford Bay Sauvignon Blanc was produced from premium quality Awatere Valley grapes grown in the renowned Marlborough region, in New Zealand. Its described as ... "This wine shows the vibrant tropical fruit aromas of ripe Sauvignon Blanc. the full bodied palate is long, exhibiting intense passionfruit flavours, which linger through to the crisp finish."
I agree!
I've yet to savour the Kim Crawford ... but will let you know how I get on! I am expecting it to be equally good :-)
Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc ... "Selected from various low yielding vineyards in the Wairau, Brancott, Waihoepai and Awatere valleys, these Sauvignon Blanc grapes were machine harvested and protectively handled. After juice clarification the wine was innoculated with pure, aromatic yeast strains and cool fermented. Once dry the wine was stabilised, filtered and bottled."
" Aroma: Classic Sauvignon characters of cut grass and tropical fruits are dominant on the nose. Palate: Unfolds with flavours of passionfruit, gooseberry and subtle herbaceousness. The wine is mouthfilling with good texture and finishes well with cleansing acidity and great length."
