Whites : Sauvignon Blanc
Staete Landt Sauvignon Blanc 2006 Marlborough, New Zealand 100% Sauvignon Blanc Tasting Notes: A complex and intensely aromatic Sauvignon Blanc. This wine is perfumed with aromas of passion fruit and gooseberries. In the mouth the wine is full bodied with real concentration of flavour and aroma, a passion fruit character is dominant but this is backed by subtle dry grass like flavours with creamy almost nutty complexity and a crisp ripe attractive acidity. This is a wine for drinking whilst young but has the substance and concentration to develop well over two to five years once the primary fruit aromas have subsided. Serving Suggestions: Chicken Breast stuffed w/ Apricots & Almonds, Seafood Paupiettes, Grilled Snapper, Octopus, Walnut & Cherry Tomato Salad, Oven Roasted Perch w/ Nut Crust, Oysters. Serve Well Chilled.
