New Zealand is the country of choice for this week. I'm sure there will be 2 or 3 Sauvignon Blancs, but I'll try to balance that with some Pinot Noir, a Chardonnay and maybe a red blend.
The first wine of the week, Brancott Sauvignon Blanc, is great for the current temperatures in Kentucky(90+). Sauvignon Blancs are perfect for summer. They are crisp, light and inexpensive. I have not had this wine before, but it has received favorable reviews.
This wine is a very pale straw color with green highlights. The aromas are slight grass, kiwi and melon. Very pleasant nose on this wine and it just smelled refreshing.
The taste on this wine is very "bright". Great fruit...kiwi, grapefruit, melon and Pineapple. There is also good acidity on the wine to support the fruit, but the mouth feel is still very soft.
I believe this was in the $13 range and I like this better than anything else from New Zealand that Ive tasted on this range. Great wine.
