Frizzell Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011

04-Apr-2012

The range of Frizzell wines covers all the popular bases. In having a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc of great appeal, winemaker Rod McDonald sources quality fruit to make as typical an example as possible, quite the opposite to the style of artist and owner Dick Frizzell, whose artwork is very individual and singular. Here is the new 2011 release. www.frizzellwines.co.nz

Frizzell Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2011
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand - Marlborough
Review Date : 04-Apr-2012
☆☆☆☆☆
Fruit from the Wairau and Awatere valleys cool-fermented in stainless-steel to 13.5% alc. and 2.0 g/L rs, the wine given lees aging. Bright, very pale straw colour, near colourless on rim. This has a soft, full, ethereal bouquet of passionfruit and gooseberry aromas, pure in expression and even in volume. Dry to taste, soft flavours of passionfruit, limes and capsicums flow smoothly across the palate, the wine gentle in mouthfeel, the acidity well-balanced and unobtrusive. The fruit sweetness through the mid-palate is the feature, and shows good richness, and the flavours carry through to a long finish of gooseberry and fresh herbs. This is a soft, mellow and flavoursome Sauvignon Blanc with the freshness to match poultry, salads and vegetables over the next 2 years. 17.0+/20 Apr 2012 RRP $21.95
