Rimapere 2022 Baron Edmonde de Rothschild Plot 101 Sauvignon Blanc $45
Why I chose it:
- Kiwi wine with a French accent
- Owned by the prestigious French wine group “Baron Edmonde de Rothschild”
- Sauvignon blancdoesn’t get much better than this”.
- Bottle age has mellowed the wine and added complex flavours.
- Prestige label “Plot 101”
What does it taste like?
Hand-picked, aged on lees and with 50% fermented in barrels to give the wine a rich texture while retaining a strong fruit emphasis. Serious, complex sauvignon.
Why it’s a bargain:
It’s not cheap but it is very good, which in my book makes it a good value wine.
Where can you buy it?
Glengarry Wines. Auckland $37.99.
Food match?
Most seafood dishes, my favourite is green-lipped mussel fritters.
Will it keep?
Good drinking now, should get even more interesting over the next 2-3 years.
