Brancott Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc

The original Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Brancott's vineyards were planted in 1973 and, over the next two decades, their uniquely fresh and tropical wines took the world by storm and are responsible for one of the most popular white wine styles. This wine has sweet ripe fruit characters with a delightful mix of citrus, floral, pear and tropical fruit and a crisp nettle highlight. This powerful wine is almost pungent in its intensity with full fruit flavors across the spectrum, from ripe tropical fruit to lush pink grapefruit. This wine can be matched with barbecued prawns or salmon and poached white fish with fresh green salads containing parsley, pepper or lemon. Mediterranean and Turkish dishes with hummus, olives and feta will also match well. (from the vintner)
