Product Information: "An impressive return to form for a benchmark producer. Fine-grained and subtle, with lime juice, passion fruit, green apple and grapefruit flavors. Tart citrus, grass and stone nuances shape a deft finish. Drink now." -Wine Spectator (04/07)
Mouth-watering aromas of passion fruit and lemongrass led with the spiciness of just-picked tomatoes tossed with fresh basil. Many small parcels of fruit, ripened under ideal conditions, bring layers of complexity to the 2006 Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc. The palate has exceptional richness, with ripe gooseberry flavours and a hint of fresh fennel leading to a powerful, crisp finish. Pale straw green in colour and vibrantly aromatic, with aromas of fresh ginger, sweet basil and lemongrass layered over ripe tropical and citrus fruits. Food Choice: Drink chilled on its own or pair with vegetable and tiger prawn stir fry with gentle oriental spices.
