  10/21/2021 - Beerzebub Likes this wine:

  P&p at room temperature. Pungent petrichor, petrol, lime, orchard fruit, juniper, jasmine, honey, and surprisingly an NZ SB-like gooseberry note. A touch of sweaty, funky wild yeast character, which works just fine. Similar on the palate, good fruit, just off dry, with good balancing acidity, tasty. Some pleasant, subtle honeyedness; seems to have aged gracefully, and has plenty of fruit left. Light stony minerality from the midpalate through a fairly long finish. Comes across as very NZ, despite having some attributes in common with German Riesling. Enjoyable, characterful wine.

  Very fruity on the nose. Citrus, petroleum, violets. A full mouthfeel with some green herbs as well. Dry, with good acidity that makes it sit a good while

  Roots Restaurant. Christchurch. Typical steely aroma evident on Marlborough Sav Blanc when cold. Off dry. Quite balanced and in a good place but potential to age a further 3-5 years. Paired well with NZ pawa (like abalone?).

  A pale hue, with a steely, zingy nose with petrol, citrus, ginger and grass characters. The palate is off-dry with nice acidity and a very pleasant finish that lingers.

  Wonderful, fresh and fruity. Had with food which is probably not the best - would be ideal as a pre-dinner drink.
