Wine Folly Review: From page 165-166 of the book talks about sauvignon blanc wine in general. I taste the white peach in this wine as I do most sauvignon blancs. This wine does have a strong passionfruit flavor which is common for New Zealand wine. New Zealand wines are discussed on page 262-263 and sauvignon blanc are the most popular wine from this country. It is mentioned that residual sugar is not uncommon and I got that in this wine.
My Personal Review: I personally really enjoy this wine. It has a fruity smell and has hints of passionfruit and peach in the taste. It is more upfront with a light finish and is medium-bodied. It is great on its own and is very smooth. This is also quite an acidic wine and is a dry white which I enjoy.
