Yealands Estate, Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Yealands Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2011, from the Awatere Valley, New Zealand has just come first in a Decanter Magazine tasting of 91 NZ Sauvignons - the only wine rated as 'outstanding', with a score of 95/100.
"Outstanding" - 95/100 - Decanter Magazine
Subtle and gently toasted, intertwined with fresh grass and ripe gooseberry. The palate is taut, but well balanced. There is good concentration with finesse and bite. Perfect to match with food.
